The Indian Express
wrote "The film is hence dance oriented with the storyline given a go by".
[5]
R. P. R. of
Kalki
praised Prabhu Deva's dance and Sarathkumar's acting but panned Ashok Kumar's cinematography as out of focus and also panned the vulgar dialogues and lyrics.

The film's release in Malaysia was marred by heavy censorship, with several fight scenes omitted.
[7]
It was reported that Pavithran was considering making a film titled
Mookkuthi Kaasi
featuring Sarathkumar's character from
Indhu
, and the project started in 1996.

However Sarathkumar was ousted from the project soon after and replaced by Bhaskar Raj, who had appeared in
Nethaji
. The film, which also featured Kushboo and Roja, was later shelved.
