Actor Sivakarthikeyan can be proud of making such a simple and beautiful film" and gave the film a rating of three out of five stars.[2]
Gopinath Rajendran of The Hindu stated that the film is an "An off-balanced yet heart-warming tale on childhood aspirations".[3]
A critic from Cinema Vikatan gave a mixed review.[4]
Anusha Sundar of OTTplay rated the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and stated that "Kurangu Pedal is a film that doesn’t scream big emotions, because it tucks away all its learnings much like the father character, to its nooks and corners of one-liners. It has some tough walls to break and had it only, it would have won the race in the most glorious fashion."[5]
