5 reasons to watch Kurangu Pedal on Aha 

Children’s film

While Tamil cinema is known to churn out different genres of films, one thing that has been missing for a while is a film catering to children. Kurangu Pedal keeps its child protagonists in the centre and takes their perspectives into account when telling a story. With a dearth of such stories in cinema off late, Kurangu Pedal seems to satisfy the needs of the younger audience.

Kurangu Pedal does not villainize any of its characters, instead offering empathy for why they behave the way they do.

Nostalgic period drama

Set in the 1980s, Kurangu Pedal revolves around a group of young boys who wish to learn how to ride a bicycle during their summer vacations. The film takes us back to the time before the invention of mobile phones and the internet, which have become today’s pastime. Kurangu Pedal is sure to give you some nostalgic moments and a trip down your memory lane when you first learned how to ride a bicycle and spent summer vacations in the absence of technology.
