It shows the singer helping a stripper to escape from her agressive boss in a club. Multiple reviewers noted the visual's Lesbian theme and Inna's lascivious appearance.

An editor from Italian website RnB Junk wrote that "Inndia" was an "oriental-like" song, "easily to understand by the title", and pointed out that it featured a new beat not approached in the singer's previous material.[5] Alin from Urban.ro similarly thought that the recording was of a new style compared to Inna's previous work, noting Arabic influences, guitar accords and male vocals complementing the singer.[6] Reagan Gavin Rasquinh of The Times of India wrote, "despite the title, [the track] has nothing to do with the subcontinent, in case you were wondering."[1] According to Urban.ro, "Inndia" referrs to the name of a woman, also portrayed in the music video.[7]

An editor of Pro FM listed the recording in their list of "16 hits with which Inna made history".[8] The Times of India's Gavin Rasquinh found "Inndia" was "another passable track with a thwacking snare sound".[1] Commercially, the song reached number ten on Romania's Airplay 100 on 21 January 2012, becoming her ninth top ten hit in the country.[9]

Music video

An accompanying music video for "Inndia" was shot by Edward Aninaru[10] and was uploaded onto Inna's official YouTube channel on 19 September 2012.[11] It was preceded by a lyrics video released on 28 June 2012 on the same platform.[12] The visual beings with shots of a woman smoking and female strippers pole dancing in a club. This is followed by Inna entering the building and sitting down at the bar starting a conversation with the female bartender. Subsequently, the singer is seen pole dancing for a gentleman. Later in the video, she cares for a female stripper named "Inndia"[7] with a scar on her face, who sits in a bathtub next to her, and also secretly watches how she is beaten by her boss in another scene. Both manage to escape the respecive room after Inna breakes a glass over the man's head.[7] Subsequently, they enter the club where the singer pole dances in front of a huge crowd along with other females. "Inndia" is shortly seen sitting on a couch with two other women, who write the words "rock" and "party" on her skin with eyeliner. Cut scenes show Inna wearing black lingerie on a bed with a female dressed similarly.[11]

Fabien Eckert from 20 minutes wrote that the music video was appealing to the male audience, further noting Inna's lascivious appearance.[13] An editor from RnB Junk similarly said that the singer showed "her model physics" in the clip, and thought that "the clip will make the singer's [male] fans happy as the female audience can simply skip it".[5] Edi of Urban.ro found that "Inndia" was Inna's sexiest and most explicit visuals, further noting semi-nude dancers and Inna's portrayal of a Lesbian woman.[7] Echoing this thought, Spanish Lesbian-themed portal Lesbicanarios listed it at number three on their list of the "top ten most Lesbian music videos".[14]
