Reception
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] A critic from 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 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]
Sequel
Prashanth has written a script for a sequel; however, the film never entered production.[11]
