== Reception ==
The critical reception of the film was mixed. A critic from ''[[The New Indian Express]]'' wrote "Almost all the character artists have performed well in the film. H.C. Venu has done a good job behind camera. "Swayamvara" is an average fare and is worth just a one-time watch".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2010/mar/21/swayamvara-141054.amp|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220922160934/https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2010/mar/21/swayamvara-141054.amp|url-status=dead|archive-date=22 September 2022|title=Swayamvara|work=[[The New Indian Express]]|date=21 March 2010}}</ref> B S Srivani from ''[[Deccan Herald]]'' wrote "Kitti is up to the task. Sharmila is restrained and oozing glamour wherever required. Having perfected the art of grating on the nerves in other films, the dimpled actor manages to pull off inane jokes easily. ‘Swayamvara’ is a nice title for a less-than-nice film".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/amp/content/58982/swayamvara.html|title=Swayamvara|work=[[Deccan Herald]]|date=19 March 2010}}</ref> Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana from [[Rediff.com]] scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and says "Dialogues don't have much punch, and despite all the songs being original scores and big names like Yograj Bhatt, Nagendra Prasad, Sudhir Athawar, Arjun and Tushar Ranganath writing the lyrics, Manikanth Kadri's music is not catchy. The film also seems a tad too lengthy".<ref name="R">{{cite web|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/review/south-kannada-movie-review-swayamvara/20100319.htm|title=Review: Swayamvara is time pass|work=[[Rediff.com]]|date=19 March 2010}}</ref> A critic from ''[[Bangalore Mirror]]'' wrote "All the actors churn out decent performances. Rangayana Raghu whose character is at the receiving end of Kitty’s mis-directed efforts to woo Sharmila is fun to watch. Sharmila oozes glamour and her eye candy image is worth the trip to the cinema hall".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/swayamwara-good-for-the-laughs/articleshow/21905078.cms|title=Swayamwara: Good for the laughs|work=[[Bangalore Mirror]]|date=19 March 2010}}</ref>
