Hridaya made her debut under the name of Sowmya.^[5]

The soundtrack was composed by newcomer G. R. Shankar.^[6] The song "Yaaro Kannalli Kannanittu" from the film became popular.^[7]

A critic from The Times of India wrote that "Prashanth gives his best and Sowmya is okay. G R Shankar’s music is good".^[8] R. G. Vijayasarathy of Rediff.com wrote that "In a nutshell, though Orata I Love You may not be in the same league as Duniya or Mungaru Male, it certainly is a well-made film with good dialogues, decent performances, scintillating music and good choreography".^[9] A critic from Chitraloka.com said that "This story has been told in an interesting manner by Sreenivas. The music by debutant music director B.R.Shankar is the highlight of the film".^[10] A critic from Indiaglitz wrote that "Director Sri has worked hard to keep the attention of the audience tight through the screenplay in his very first venture. That is the main saving grace of this tragic love story 'Orata I love you".^[11]

Prashanth has written a script for a sequel; however, the film never entered production.^[12]
