Kurangu Pedal, directed by Kamalakannan of Madhubana Kadai (2012) and Vattam (2022) fame, will immerse you in an emotionally charged cinematic experience.
The film is inspired by Rasi Azhagappan’s short story — “Cycle“. It is one of three Tamil films selected for the Indian Panorama section of the 53rd IFF of India (Goa) in 2022.
Since it is a film based on someone’s memories of summer, director Kamalakannan tries to cash in on the “nostalgia” aspect, right in time for the ongoing summer holidays.
The film reminds one of the good old days when kids just played/acted like kids and didn’t behave like adults, like how they usually show in Tamil cinema.
As an actor, although Sivakarthikeyan has a “mass image”, and does commercial outings, as a producer, he tries his best and makes offbeat and good cinema.
