Kurangu Pedal has been celebrated in the festival circuit after it became one of the three Tamil films to be screened at the Indian Panorama section of the 53rd International Film Festival of India. It revolves around a bunch of schoolboys who aspire to learn how to ride a bicycle all on their own during their summer vacations. The film throws light on the difficulties the boys face while trying to learn all by their own.

“The film had all the potential out there and also had them served almost on a platter, but failed to capitalise into making it something deeper," reads OTTplay review of the film.
Aha Tamil has been picking up on increasing its Tamil content library. The platform has acquired the post-theatrical streaming rights of several 2024 Tamil releases, including Romeo, Hot Spot, The Boys and Boomer Uncle, to name a few.
