Coucou

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 !!!

Cuckoo(2014) Review: Finally watched cuckoo after the excitement and expectation created through the trailer. Here is my view on the movie: The story is about two visually challenged people falling in love and their struggle. The plot also showcases the normal living style of those people like their normal dailies and routine. So in that way this seems to be attractive and refreshing concept for Tamil cinema.

Strength: Performances by both leads. Though the lead actor male has strained a lot to fit the role and has justified it, but towards the end of the movie his character goes too melodramatic and becomes cinematic. On contrast were as the female lead remains stable from the starting to the ending so definitely Malavika Nair did a splendid job and really makes us doubt that it is her debut movie. Then music by Santhosh kumar was sensational particularly the nos like "Aagasatha" " Manasula surakathu" and "Kodaiyila".

Weakness: To say the screenplay was so slow and certain areas in the movie we feel its repetitions of scenes. So it goes so long more like a Tele-film and art movies type. So it lacks grip on the tale. Fails to create hard hitting feeling like "Deiva thirumagal" or of "Mozhi" or "Anjali" . Some logic holes in the plot like to mention one in the climax scene were heroine senses the hero after a long time gap but failed to sense him when he was right next to her.

Overall I would say 4.5/5 for performances, music and concept of True blind love, 2.5/5 for the screenplay. -Reviewed by Sivakumar Balachandran)

Both the male and female leads delivered stellar performances that were nothing short of breathtaking. Their acting reached unparalleled heights, showcasing a level of talent that truly captivated the audience. The storyline was equally remarkable, woven with such finesse and depth that it left an indelible mark on our hearts.

I wholeheartedly urge everyone to watch this masterpiece-a true feel-good film that resonates on so many levels. From the nuances of their dialogue delivery to the authentic portrayal of emotions, every element was crafted with meticulous care, making the experience profoundly realistic.

A huge round of applause and heartfelt gratitude to 'Cuckoo' for gifting the Tamil audience such an extraordinary cinematic gem.

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..
