Release and reception
En Magan was released on 21 August 1974,[7] and became commercially successful.[8] Kausikan of Kalki felt the title En Magan did not suit the story; instead Thirudan (thief) would have been better. He appreciated the performance of Ganesan in the father's role as majestic while also praising the cinematography and humour and concluded Ganesan's dual roles and Ramayya's character will attract his fans.
