The team of the film met actor Kamal Haasan in July 2012, with the director Harshavardhan being an alumnus of Kamal Haasan's 2009 screen-writing workshop.
Rohit Ramachandran of Nowrunning.com rated it 3.5/5 stating that "Aachariyangal's got a sophisticated plot that's narrated with due simplicity and directed with candid straightforwardness." Malini Mannath of The New Indian Express concluded "Aachariyangal is a fairly enagaging fare from a debutant maker, who has made an effort to strike a different chord." Times of India gave 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote "if Aachariyangal works to a certain extent, it is mainly because of the inherent what-next suspense that the plot holds". Behindwoods gave 1.5 out of 5 and wrote "Aachariyangal might not make your day but it has its trump cards lined-up just when you feel like brushing it away".
The film went unnoticed commercially and resulted in a major loss for Harshavardhan, which he later admitted in 2018 on a video uploaded to his YouTube channel Showpepper TV.
