Production
[edit]Sila Nerangalil Sila Manithargal was the late writer Jayakanthan's award-winning novel, which was adapted later into a film of the same name in 1977 by A. Bhimsingh.[6] In July 2021, the title of Ashok Selvan's new project was announced by Kamal Haasan as Sila Nerangalil Sila Manidhargal (with a different story) in Twitter. In December 2021, the children of Jayakanthan had appealed to Haasan to avoid reusing the title since the title was synonymous with their father's name.[7] But still the title was unchanged.[8] Filming began in January 2021 and was completed by that December.[9]

Reception
[edit]Logesh Balachandran of The Times of India who gave the film 3 out of 5 stars stated that "Regret can make all of us feel an implacable bitterness like no other emotions. When every character in the film goes through a similar emotion, we are forced to be a part of their journey and introspect our own tales. Sila Nerangalil Sila Manithargal is a heartwarming film with some takeaways for all generations."[11] Avinash Ramachandran of Cinema Express rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stating that "This film is an example of the talent Tamil cinema has at its disposal; let’s hope then that they too get well-utilised before it is too late."[12] Behindwoods rated the film 2.75 out of 5 stars and wrote that "Sila Nerangalil Sila Manidhargal ends up as an engaging watch due to the good performances and writing."[13] Vishal Menon of Film Companion stated that despite its flaws and "generally flat making style, Sila Nerangalil Sila Manidhargal is a nicely-written drama about screwed-up people and how a singular event presents all four of them with a chance at redemption."[14]
