Keyaar was inspired to direct the film with Kutty, a one legged handicapped dancer after seeing him dancing at a concert at Kamarajar auditorium.[2][3] Kutty did not appear in further films aside from By the People (2005) and Lee (2007) as he died by falling down stairs in 2007.[4]
Soundtrack was composed by Pravin Mani and lyrics were written by Pa. Vijay and Na. Muthukumar.[5]
IndiaGlitz wrote "Though Keyar has taken up a message in the movie, he seems to have made the movie interesting by adding commercial elements at right mix".[6] Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu wrote, "Despite a logical story line, a docu-feel does crop up now and then [...] The ideal is lofty. But the insensitivity in execution (for the most part) is disconcerting".[7] Malini Mannath wrote for Chennai Online, "Though Dancer is predictable story-telling, it's a film you would not regret watching".[8]
