Yesudas who sang another popular song "Daari Kaanade Bandavale". The film saw a resounding success commercially and also acclaimed for its simplistic portrayal of Brother Sister bonding.

In an interview to Telugu and Kannada Film Director M.Nageshwara Rao, super star Rajinikanth told that he was a big fan of the film and had watched the film Onde Balliya Hoogalu 14 times during his growing up years in Bangalore and couldn't control the tears. M.Nageswara Rao incidentally had played a key role in recording the anecdotes of Shri Raghavendra swami during His life time and swami's travels to the length and breadth of the country. The impact of those anecdotes could be seen in the later version of Rajni's film on Raghavendra swami in Tamil.
