Release and reception

Nevertheless, give it a try for its humour".[5] A critic from 123telugu said that "On the whole, Swathi Muthyam is a simple family drama with comedy being its main asset".[6] A critic from Pinkvilla said that "Situational comedy can't save this superficial family entertainer".[7]
