Reception
Ballewood.in praises Pehchaan 3D for an unusual plot, good direction and brilliant performances. The reviewer says,"Pehchaan 3D- World’s first ever 3D Punjabi feature film, stands tall above the common herd of clichéd Punjabi movies, not just because it’s a 3D movie, but also, because of its unusual storyline, brilliant acting, great direction and outstanding music." On the downside, "The lack of promotion and the fact that nobody in India knows anything about the cast of the movie, would definitely act as deterrents. Therefore, the film will require a very strong word of mouth marketing to find a foothold at the box office."[3]
