Cuckoo

Cuckoo is a heartwarming love story between two visually challenged individuals that keeps you totally engrossed with its brilliant performances, sensational music and stunning visuals, definitely a must watch.

Just terrific acting by Attakathi Dinesh and very good performance by Malvika Nair. Directorial debut by Raju Murugan along with a small role has created a masterpiece. Very effective storytelling and editing, however we wish the movie could have been shortened just a little bit in second half. Use of comedy is just brilliant for the theme. His use of a huge number of blind actors is very effective which mage me wonder if actor Attakathi Dinesh was really blind. Malavika Nair has performed exceptionally well. Use of some old Ilayaraja's soundtrack is a plus. Though a tear jerker the movie will leave a lasting impression. A must watch !!!

A key differentiator for this, in spite of its inherent weaknesses, is the 'A' it gets for effort throughout, in all of its departments - direction, screenplay, score, acting, editing, production design etc. However, it is cliché-ridden throughout, and has chock full of stereotypical characters that populate it, and here's where the makers and the actors elevate the material in spite of said characterization. It is sappy, it is sentimental, and hits all the notes intended to work you up emotionally, tugging fiercely at your heart-strings (like, for instance, 'Sadma'/'Moondrompirai' or 'Ek duje ke liye'), and in this day and age, that should simply not work. So, its a huge credit to Rajumurugan and his crew that they made this one appeal to all classes of audiences, and I'm lucky to have caught this one at one of the best screens in the country. As I mentioned earlier, the score is special, as is the set design and cinematography, and we're right with the protagonists throughout their journey. The 2 hours 43 minutes swept past like a breeze, and I, for one, wished that I had spent more time with these characters. Don't be ashamed to choke back a tear/two, and ensure you don't miss this one on the big screen. Its quite an experience. And yes, I'm in love with Sudhandhirakodi as well.

I had not expected much from this movie as i felt it would be the same kind of love story which we usually see. The unusual thing about this movie is the love story of two blind people Tamizh and Kodi(as the character name exists in the movie) The movie makes you realize that there is something called as pure love which exists in their hearts. The performance of both the actors is something to look upon it will leave you speechless. No words may be enough to praise their hardwork and talent which they have showcased in the movie. Brilliant performance by debutant Malavika nair and Attakathi Dinesh. The story being true the director has left no stone unturned in showing what was actually narrated to him by the real life character of Thamizh whom the director had met when he worked as a journalist thus retaining the actual feelings and emotions of the characters. The movie is completely worth a watch if you can relate to the feelings and emotions of the characters in the movie. Kudos to the team of Cuckoo..
