Reception
A critic from The Times of India gave the film a rating of three out of five stars and wrote that "Though N Veerendrababu has selected a drab subject, a number of sequences keep you glued to the movie". In a review by Deccan Herald, the reviewer stated that "Director Veerendra Babu has shown people it is alright to apply the words of Mahatma Gandhi, Swami Vivekananda and others, to achieve success and create a modern Ram Rajya ()". A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote that "Swayam Krushi's only credit is that it does not descend into the lowest ebb". A critic from Indo-Asian News Service wrote that "Babu's direction clearly shows his inexperience in filmmaking, but the real dampner is his performance as protagonist".
