Reception[edit]
A critic from The Times of India rated the film 2+1⁄2 out of 5 and wrote that "Pranayam is a film that begins as a romantic family drama, but turns into a thriller. However, not enough screen time has been dedicated to convince the audience of the growing bond between the couple and the transition of the storyline thereafter".[9] A critic from Cinema Express gave the film the same rating and wrote that "The story starts on a romantic note but doesn’t quite satisfy with its supposed twist. The ending doesn’t quite match the build-up, and it falls flat".[10] A critic from Prajavani wrote that "When an unexpected twist appears in the couple's life, their ideas change, the relationship is tested. The screenplay could have been stronger at this stage".[11]
