Release and reception Arumugam was released on 25 September 2009. Sify called it a blatant lift of the director's own Annaamalai (1992) and added, "The film makes you feel suffocated and every scene is predictable. There are no surprise twists or turns in the narration". Pavithra Srinivasan from Rediff labelled the film as a "ridiculous fare", giving it merely 0.5 out of 5 stars.
