Besides love, `Cuckoo` also explores friendship. In a standout scene, Tamizh asks his best friend, who is also blind, to have a good look at Vinoth, and tell him how he looks. He looks around, takes a few seconds and tells him that Vinoth is hideous. Both laugh in jubilation and so do we, the audience.
The last half hour of the film may appear a tad melodramatic, but it`s still believable. Santosh Narayanan`s life-affirming music makes you ignore fewer flaws you may across in the film, which is mostly sincerely written, acted and executed.
