Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Bala S Iyer 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..
hariharandec Sensational movie. Great performance.its a must watch film for everyone. I liked the way it is scripted, the positive approach of the characters is excellent.. At anytime in the movie they are not feeling they are blind..it tells the society what true love is.. The hero always finds heroines footsteps but due to tense and fear he unable to find the foot sound in climax.. Similarly heroine feels she is unable to identify his footsteps like hero but in climax whatever the tense or disturbance she finds hero's stick sound.. That is what happens in true love.. Its a heartwarming ,great performance love drama film and definitely will be a award winning film of 2014..
guruprasad1997 Movie: Cuckoo(2014)Cast:Dinesh as Thamizh Malavika Nair as Sudhanthirakodi Aadukalam Murugadoss Somasundaram Elango NandhiniPlot:A love story between the blind turtle doves... Review:Director Raja Murugan, a Journalist/Reporter from 'Ananda Vikatan' had projected such a pecking story which is one of the best debut films in Tamil Cinema. Cuckoo, the name really sounded good to me. Cuckoo is based upon true love story between the two wings named 'Thamizh and Sudhanthirakodi'. The love between them was totally balanced. They truly inspired not only the director but also the hearts of the masses. Raja Murugan made the physically challenged people to feel very proud.Cuckoo really had one the best cast and crew. First of all Attakathi Dinesh, Mind blowing acting by him. He gave his best for the character named 'Thamizh'. He played a role of a blind man and I was able to feel the pain through his eyes. According to me, his hard work pays him one of the greatest awards of all time known as 'Appreciation'. Actress Malavika Nair, it is her debut film in Tamil and she gave her best for the character named 'Sudhanthirakodi'. The chemistry between them was totally tremendous. I really loved it. Not only them, the supporting actors were great, I salute them. They really added more beauty to the film. Director Murugan played his real life role as a reporter. He gave the narration to the script. He had done a wonderful job. Screenplay was pretty awesome. Photography was good and the cinematographer P. K. Varma, he had done a wonderful job. Editing and Visual effect were equally good. Cuckoo's music was composed by Santhosh Narayanan. This is his best so far. Mind blowing songs as well as the Background music. Excellency overload. Santhosh Narayanan's career best music composition, I would say. I really felt the soothing effect which really blends with the movie. Manasula Soora Kaathey, Agasatha and Potta Pulla were the songs which I loved the most. True colour of the cast without much big make up projected them beautifully on the big screen. Good ending as well as a good feeling climax. I felt very happy for it. I was totally involved into the movie as a character. A cyclone formed in me which finally ended up in raining from my eyes. Hats off to the whole team of Cuckoo.The running time of Cuckoo is exactly 163 minutes. Many said that the film was a little bit long one. But according to me, Cuckoo is one the films which did not make me to see my clock ticking and that credit goes to the true love.Again the only thing which I hated the most was, there were only about 15 people in the theatre. The same feeling which I felt while watching Onaiyum Aatukuttiyum. Guys, please do encourage these movies. Cuckoo is really a must watch movie.Bottom Line: 'Cuckoo' defines the meaning of 'True Love'.
