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]
