Goparaju Ramana, Naresh, Rao Ramesh, Surekha Vani, Pragathi Suresh, Vennela Kishore, Sri Divya and others too played key roles in the film.
The story revolves around Balamurali Krishna, a humble government employee on the cusp of marriage. When Bala nearly gives up hope on the matches coming his way, cupid strikes him as he meets Bhagya Lakshmi. The latter takes time to trust him and just when it looks like any other ‘they live happily ever after’ tale, there’s mayhem. Will Bala get out of the mess and marry Bhagya Lakshmi?
With cinematography by Suryaa, the film was edited by Navin Nooli. Avinash Kolla handled art direction for the romance presented by PDV Prasad. Swathimuthyam was particularly praised for its clean writing and the performances of its supporting cast, Rao Ramesh and Goparaju Ramana in particular. Despite the positive feedback, the film didn't perform as expected at the box office.
