Reception
[edit]A critic from Sify rated the film three out of five stars and wrote, "On the whole Pranayakalam, could have been a far more convincing and touching if the director and his script writer had done their home work."[3] Paresh C. Palicha of Rediff.com gave the film two out of five stars and wrote, "The film opens and you are transported two decades. So far so good. Then comes the bummer, this film, you realise, is just another ordinary love story. Nothing more, nothing less."[4]
