Reception

Film critic R. G. Vijayasarathy of 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".^[1] WebIndia123 wrote "Swamy" is a big letdown for Darshan fans. It is better for the actor to concentrate on good scripts in the future".^[2] Viggy wrote "If you want to see Darshan coming out of his existing image, you can help by watching Swamy!".^[3] Indiaglitz wrote "There is no logic throughout but only Darshan magic. This film appears to be set for front benchers and Darshan fans".^[4]
