Film: "Cuckoo"; Cast: Dinesh, Malavika Nair, Murugadoss and Somasundaram; Director: Raju Murugan; Rating: ***1/2
Ears become the eyes of Tamizh (Dinesh) and Sudhanthirakodi aka Kodi (Malavika) in "Cuckoo", which revolves around the love story of a blind couple united by love.
If the approaching footsteps of Kodi can bring a bright smile on Tamizh's face, it's the latter's impromptu singing that can make the former skip a heartbeat. When you can't see your beloved with your own eyes, but can still feel his or her love with the remaining four senses, the bond strengthens.
Debutant director Raju Murugan's "Cuckoo" is a mostly endearing and occasionally sad film exploring love and hope with intermittent humour.
