The film is a refreshing and heart touching love story that
makes the viewers compelled to have their focus right through without a pinch
of boredom. With brilliant performances from the lead pair backed up by good
acting from the supporting casts and a well written script, Cuckoo directed by
Raju Murugan and produced by Fox Star Studios is a must watch film.
Technically too, the film stands out and among them it is Santhosh Narayanan's music that gives the film a different feel of the love story. To support the music, there is the cinematography by P K Varma where the visuals and frames have a cool and vibrant looks.
The plot revolves around two visually challenged individuals Thamizh and Kodi and what that attracts us is the treatment of the romantic angle without taking too much cinematic liberties to narrate the subject involving two blind persons.
On to the negative side, it’s the melodramatic climax to name one. Compared to the latter half, the pre interval session is more entertaining and watchable. The melodramatic situations towards the end (final half hour or so) could have been avoided that would have made the film attain a different range of its own. But even then, the movie makes us engaged for the most part though the running time is two hours and forty two minutes.
On the acting side, Dinesh as Thamizh and Malavika Nair as Kodi deserve special praise for portraying their respective characters with brilliance as well as lots of conviction. Add to these two, the supporting acts from rest of the acting team.
Overall, Cuckoo deserves a rating of four out of five and along with this score, I would like to applaud the director Raju Murugan for his honest attempt in portraying the subject with such seriousness and boldness.
