== Reception ==<br />
Film critic [[R. G. Vijayasarathy]] of ''[[Indo-Asian News Service|IANS]]'' wrote that "Darshan starred 'Swamy' is a replica of the actor's previous hit "Ayya' in which he played the daring police officer's role with aplomb".<ref>[http://www.nowrunning.com/movie/2506/kannada/swamy/592/review.htm Swamy Film Review at IANS]</ref> ''WebIndia123'' wrote "Swamy" is a big letdown for Darshan fans. It is better for the actor to concentrate on good scripts in the future".<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.webindia123.com/movie/regional/swamy/index.htm | title=Swamy Kannada Movie review }}</ref> ''Viggy'' wrote "If you want to see Darshan coming out of his existing image, you can help by watching Swamy!".<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.viggy.com/english/review_swamy.asp | title='Swamy' film review - a film of Darshan directed by M.S.
