The shoulder drop step from the song became a signature step and was recreated by millions, in many short-video and social media platforms.

At the test match between India and England held in Chennai in February 2021, Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin grooved to the song "Vaathi Coming" when it is played during the test match, which went viral across social media platforms;[15] then Ashwin, along with Kuldeep Yadav and Hardik Pandya, did the shoulder drop step in a cover video posted on 19 February 2021.[16][17] Harbhajan Singh did the signature step during the shooting of Friendship, his debut as a lead actor,[18] as did David Warner.[19] Cricketer Suresh Raina grooved to the song at the Behindwoods Gold Medals awards held on 7 March 2021, where he was awarded The Global Icon of Inspiration: Sports, by Master director Lokesh Kanagaraj.[20]

Behindwoods reviewed the song as "a loop-worthy dance track".[21] Indiaglitz called the song as "energetic" and further added it as a "celebration for the fans".[22]  Moviecrow called the track as "a pedestrian listen" which is because of the "overused tunes especially in the past two albums of Anirudh".[23] Jyothi Prabhakar of The Times of India, called the song as "worth the grab for the infectious energy that it brings", but disappointed that the song "had been converted into a proper 'kuthu' track".[24]
