Pranayakadha Review

The very first scene of Aadhi Balakrishnan's 'Pranayakadha' is an intriguing one, that makes your hair stand on its end. But then, it's a steady down slide of sorts, with very little of what's being told making sense.
Anand (Arun Narayan) is in love with Rita (Swarna Thomas), and the youngsters decide to elope all on a sudden. Support arrives in the form of Seban (Govindankutty), Anand's best friend, and the trio flees into the forest, waiting in hiding for the day when Rita would turn eighteen, so that a marriage could be registered. Little do Anand and Rita realize, that Seban has other plans in his mind.
hat is perhaps most disappointing about 'Pranayakadha' is that the love is nowhere to be seen. This is a story of teenage infatuation at best; a story of a realization that arrives a bit too late. The title, hence, sounds awkward, to say the least.
'Paranju Paranju Kaadu Kayari...' goes the tagline of the film that literally suggests having gone off-track in the course of narration. It turns out to be appallingly apt, in that the film does just that, and in no time starts moving round in circles, not sure of where to pull the plug once and for all.
The characterization is half baked, and the film offers us little opportunities to get to know any of the three leading characters. Especially hazy is the manner in which Seban has been chalked out, and we wonder if he's really the bad guy that we expect him to be,
