== Overview ==<br />
In the first season, Indu gets married into a ''bonedi'' family residing in their ancestral mansion. But soon she realises that there is something mysterious about the house and the members when she found out poisonous [[Datura]] leaves inside the ''twatter machh'' and stepped on a bowl of blood while entering the house instead of the usual vermillion liquid. The mystery gets more intensified after the mysterious death of Laboni. She started her own investigation since the family tried to hush her death as an accident. Her search revealed that every member of the family is a suspect and carries a motive.<ref>{{cite news |title=Ishaa Saha is counting on more love for new season of Hoichoi mystery series Indu |url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/entertainment/ishaa-saha-is-counting-on-more-love-for-new-season-of-hoichoi-mystery-series-indu/cid/1909003 |access-date=14 August 2025 |work=[[The Telegraph (India)|The Telegraph]] |date=10 January 2023}}</ref><br />
<br />
The second season picks from the cliffhanger where the first season ended; Sujato asks Indu if she would be able to solve the mystery and find the culprit. As she further investigates the death, Indu comes to know about the family's dark past and a pattern of violence that has affected the family for generations. Mysteries become more intensified as [[Datura]] seeds are found inside a pumpkin and her husband Sougato dies mysteriously. After a frenzy of events, Poushali revealed that she along with Koushali tried to scare Indu away, from the very first day. Charu's dead body is found at the courtyard, which paves way for the third season, to search for Sougato and Charu's murderer.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Sengupta |first1=Archi |title=Indu 2 Ending Explained: What Happened at the End of the Thriller? |url=https://www.leisurebyte.com/indu-2-ending-explained/ |access-date=14 August 2025 |work=Leisurebyte |date=20 January 2023}}</ref><br />

==== Season 1 ====<br />
Shaheen Irani of ''[[HT Media|OTTplay]]'' rated the series 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Indu is not your regular damsel-in-distress story. While it begins like that, the story unfolds beautifully. It is among those Bengali web series that take its own time to develop but leave a mark once the setup is clear. By the end of it all, Ishaa Saha becomes quite the attraction, right after Suhotra Mukhopadhyay's." She also applauded Chandraniv and Payal's performances, the mystery factor maintained around Laboni's character and the non sexual spark between Isha and Suhotra during their on screen moments.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Irani |first1=Shaheen |title=Indu series review: Ishaa Saha kills it as the new bride |url=https://www.ottplay.com/review/indu-series-review-ishaa-saha-kills-it-as-the-new-bride/6b2f18fd32634 |access-date=14 August 2025 |work=[[HT Media|OTTplay]] |date=23 October 2021}}{{rating|3.5|5}}</ref><br />
<br />
A critic from ''Binged'' reviewed the series and opined "On the surface, Indu is a suspense drama, with a murder, several attempts to murder, an unhinged woman and a mystery woman thrown into the mix. But scratch beneath the surface, and the stench of misogyny and patriarchy pervades the plot in every scene." Ishaa's flawless portrayal as Indu, Suhotra's screen presence, the world building, cinematography and the background score were praised. But the slow pace and not so great suspense build up were criticized.<ref>{{cite news |title=Indu Review – Suspense Drama, Rife With Sordid Secrets And Closet Skeletons |url=https://www.binged.com/reviews/indu-bengali-web-series-review/ |access-date=14 August 2025 |work=Binged |date=24 October 2021}}</ref><br />
<br />
==== Season 2 ====<br />
Agnivo Niyogi of ''[[The Telegraph (India)|The Telegraph]]'' reviewed the series and wrote "The show holds on to the suspense, packs in a few twists and ends with yet another cliffhanger. Where it falls short of is in threading the incidents together and coming up with answers to questions raised in Season 1." He criticized the slow pace, dragging on of the suspense and a comparatively weak storyline than the first season.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Niyogi |first1=Agnivo |title=Hoichoi series Indu 2 adds more plot twists and a cliffhanger ending but leaves us frustrated |url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/entertainment/hoichoi-series-indu-2-adds-more-plot-twists-and-a-cliffhanger-ending-but-leaves-us-frustrated/cid/1913740 |access-date=14 August 2025 |work=[[The Telegraph (India)|The Telegraph]] |date=2 February 2023}}</ref><br />
<br />
Shamayita Chakraborty of ''[[HT Media|OTTplay]]'' rated the series 3/5 stars and highlighted "It builds suspense, presents a stellar star cast, endlessly beats around the bushes, and finally doesn’t reach its resolution. Since the makers and writers hold back most of the explanations, the season becomes bland despite the garnishing of acting, et al." She applauded the effortless chemistry between Ishaa and Suhotra and mentioned that as the only reason to watch the series. She criticized the excessive stretching of the storyline which makes the lack of content evident.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Chakraborty |first1=Shamayita |title=Indu 2 review: It's official!

<br />
Archi Sengupta of ''Leisure Byte'' rated the series 4/5 stars and opined "Indu 2 is another great addition to the genre that keeps the audience hooked to the storyline. Although you don’t get the answers to some of the biggest questions, you are given an inkling to make up your own minds until the next season (hopefully) answers them." She praised Ishaa's performance but bemoaned the mystery for getting convoluted with every episode and criticized the makers for dragging the story and killing more people in the lieu of creating a new season.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Sengupta |first1=Archi |title=Indu 2 Review: Another Thrilling Season for Ishaa Saha |url=https://www.leisurebyte.com/indu-2-review-ishaa-saha/ |access-date=14 August 2025 |work=Leisure Byte |date=20 January 2023}}{{rating|4|5}}</ref><br />
<br />
==== Season 3 ====<br />
Agnivo Niyogi of ''[[The Telegraph (India)|The Telegraph]]'' reviewed the series and stated "The new season is sluggish but delivers a resolution that feels earned. This season doesn’t leave things dangling. It ties back the loose threads from past seasons." He praised Ishaa Saha for keeping the show together, the more space provided to the supporting cast, Judhajit Sarkar as Indu's brother-in-law, Suhotro's wildcard acting his emotional chemistry with Ishaa. But he bemoaned the pacing of the series as "Some scenes drag far longer than they should, especially in the middle episodes where conversations keep circling the same points."<ref>{{cite news |last1=Niyogi |first1=Agnivo |title=‘Indu 3’: Ishaa Saha-starrer Hoichoi mystery thriller gets a closure long due |url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/entertainment/ishaa-saha-starrer-mystery-thriller-finally-gets-a-closure/cid/2125717 |access-date=13 October 2025 |work=[[The Telegraph (India)|The Telegraph]] |date=1 October 2025}}</ref><br />
<br />
Archi Sengupta of ''Leisure Byte'' rated the series 3/5 stars and opined "Overall, a good season. Ishaa Saha carries this series on her shoulders, and she’s, as always, great. From her mannerisms to her charms, the actor does a good job of holding on to our interest." She praised the usage of all the characters that helped in tying all the seasons together, several callback moments to recall different things that will keep the viewers interested and the ending. Although she bemoaned the slow pacing of the final season and mentioned that certain unnecessary sequences slow down the series, mounting the audience's annoyance.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Sengupta |first1=Archi |title=Indu Season 3 Review: A Disconcerning, Twisty and Satisfying End |url=https://www.leisurebyte.com/indu-season-3-review/ |access-date=13 October 2025 |work=Leisure Byte |date=27 September 2025}}{{rating|3.5}}</ref><br />
