The soundtrack of the film composed by Deva, was well received by the audience. During the audio release of Mattuthavani (2012), Deva paid tribute to the director Pavithran for giving him the opportunity to score the music for his earlier films like Indhu.[2] The lyrics were written by Vaali. The song Aeye Gnanam was inspired by R. D. Burman's Hindi song Jaana O Meri Jaana, sung by Kishore Kumar from the 1982 film Sanam Teri Kasam, which was also inspired by a Sinhala Srilankas native song.

This film was dubbed into Telugu as Indhu and all lyrics were written by Rajashri.[3]

Release

The Indian Express wrote "The film is hence dance oriented with the storyline given a go by".[4] The film's release in Malaysia was marred by heavy censorship, with several fight scenes omitted.[5]

It was reported that Pavithran was considering making a film titled Mookkuthi Kaasi featuring Sarath Kumar's character from Indhu, and the project started in 1996.[6] However Sarath Kumar 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.[7]
