Abhinav Subramanian of The Times of India gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "The film gets more interesting when it leans into this murkier "eye for an eye" logic, suggesting our protagonist is far from a hero. [...] Unfortunately, just when the tension should tighten, one of three out-of-place songs pops up to kill the mood. [...] A film that can't quite escape its own familiar traps."[10] Prashanth Vallavan of Cinema Express gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Indra has enough to keep you engaged but not enough to leave an impact. While it fails to identify the wealth of themes and psychological layers in its story, the film also resorts to stale genre conventions."[11] Anusha Sundar of OTT Play gave 1.5/5 stars and wrote "Indra doesn’t attempt to stand out unique in the plethora of crime thrillers that hit screens every week. With little efforts have gone into the writing, the subpar making and performances leave the film less enjoyable and intrigued."[12] Janani K of India Today gave 1.5/5 stars and wrote "‘The story of director Sabarish Nanda’s ‘Indra’ isn’t anything new. This is how most films about serial killers operate. [...] Indra’ could have been a taut thriller had it indulged in the emotions instead of barely scratching the surface."[13]
