Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
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.
Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
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..
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'.
SRI RAMANAN K Cuckoo- a sentimental love flick.Plot- A visually challenged youth falls in love with an other visually challenged female. They fall in love after tackling many troubles. Will they marry and enjoy their lives ?? Director Raju Murugan has delivered a sensational film though it is his first one. The story cannot be filmed more effective than this. Hats off to the director ! Attakathi Dinesh and Malavika Nair have performed exceptionally well . They deserve an applause for their efforts. The story has been told in a hilarious and sentimental way . Music is extra-ordinary and the music director has delivered what he is expected to.The problems faced by the blind people is revealed by this movie. They are talented people and they deserve some recognition. Many blind people have performed well in this film. Hats off to the director and the crew for the tear dropping climax."True love is the marriage of hearts not appearances" is the ultimate point delivered by this film. This sentimental thriller deserves a rating of 7/10. Listen to the sounds of Cuckoo( I mean the thoughts in this film) !
SivakumarBalachandran 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)
