Kurangu Pedal (2024)

The story is about the conflict between a father who doesn't know to ride a cycle and his son who wants to learn to ride a cycle resulting in an emotional roller enjoyable ride. Maari, a 12 year pre-teen boy's trust with a cycle changes his life upside down when the village sees its first cycle-on-rent shop. Incidentally, his father is taunted by the villagers for not knowing to ride a cycle. Denied money to take a cycle on rent, and clandestinely supported by his pampering mother furthered up his learning cause, Maari gets money and in-turn the possession of cycle to learn cycling. The learning journey starts, and that one hour cycling session turns in to a day, fully peppered with interesting events and run-ups with strangers. Until it is walled by Maari's father. This one day bridges the gap between father and son. The realisation blossoms.
