Swayamvara is a 2010 Indian Kannada-language film directed by R Anantharaju, starring Diganth, Srinagara Kitty and Sharmiela Mandre in lead roles. Actor M.Chandru who produced this movie was known as "Swayamvara" Chandru for a brief period until producing Kaddipudi after which he was known as "Kaddipudi" Chandru. The movie is a remake of 2004 Hindi movie Mujhse Shaadi Karogi which was based on the 2001 Tamil movie Kabadi Kabadi which in turn was inspired by the 2000 English movie Meet the Parents.
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". B S Srivani fromàDeccan 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.àâÂÂSwayamvaraâ is a nice title for a less-than-nice film". Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana fromàRediff.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". A critic fromàBangalore Mirror wrote "All the actors churn out decent performances. Rangayana Raghu whose character is at the receiving end of KittyâÂÂs 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".
