== Release ==
''[[Rediff]]'' gave the film a rating of one out of five stars and wrote that "Everybody spouts the standard lines (what was dialogue-writer Subha thinking?) and once the climax is done, you heave yourself off the cramped seats with relief".<ref name="R"/> ''[[The Hindu]]'' wrote that "By all means, go for Inba. It's the most inspiring piece of Tamil cinema. If this chap can make a movie, so can you".<ref name="H"/> ''[[Sify]]'' gave the film a verdict of below average and wrote that "The film fails to entertain as the twists and turns are predictable, the Shaam- Sneha romance leaves you cold, and music of P.B Balaji is worth a snore not even one humable number. It is another banal formula film to be avoided".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sify.com/movies/inba--review-tamil-pclw7jachejfa.html|title=Inba|website=Sify}}</ref>
