The music is composed by R. P. Patnaik. Lyrics were written by Gururaj Hoskote, Kaviraj and K. Kalyan.[2] The song "Thanjavooru Mannu" from the original film has been retained here as "Mandyadinda Mannu".
Film critic R. G. Vijayasarathy of IANS wrote that "'Odahuttidavalu' makes a poor comparison with the original 'Porkaalam', but still is a good film for a one time watch because of Ravichandran and Mallika".[3] A critic from Chitraloka.com wrote that "Odahuttidavalu will certainly appeal to the Crazy Star’s fans and the female audience who want to see such sentimental films again and again".[4]
