Anbu Karangal was released on 19 February 1965.[4] The Indian Express wrote, "While writer Balamurugan goes on stressing the obvious, director Sankar fills the film with silly symbolisms, meaningless montages and maddening melodrama. The cumulative effect is so pernicious that even the inimitable Sivaji is unable to save the movie."[5] Kalki said the film could be watched for Ganesan's performance and Nagesh's comedy.[6]
