Development

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 Kamal Hassan to avoid reusing the title since the title was synonymous with their father's name.[7] But still the title was unchanged.[8]

Filming

Filming began in January 2021 and was completed by that December.[9]

Soundtrack

The soundtrack and score is composed by Radhan and the album featured three songs. The audio rights were acquired by Sony Music India.

Reception

Logesh Balachandran of The Times of India who gave the film 3.0 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 4.5 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]
