Release and reception Veeranganai was released on 22 August 1964. The Indian Express wrote that the film "really does not lack valour. In fact it has much of it, rather too much, thanks to stock shots and well-taken fencing sequences. Minus these, it is somewhat damp and at time, childish. Nevertheless, in its class, the film is better than many others". Kalki also reviewed the film.
