When he goes to meet her at her school, he slips the CD into her bag, only to learn from her best friend that Kodi dreams of marrying a person who can see.

Later, Tamizh goes through much difficulty to find Kodi's favourite clock with her late father's voice recording as the alarm.

Tamizh manages to obtain enough money to pay off Kodi's brother, but he is tricked by a group of corrupt policemen before being hit by an oncoming van.

When Tamizh has finally recovered from the accident, he finds that Kodi has left Chennai to stay away from her brother's family.

[11] The Times of India gave it 3.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "What is refreshing about the film is that it treats the disability of the lead characters in a matter-of-fact way and seldom resorts to manipulation....what makes the film feel unique is the setting and the array of interesting supporting characters that the director has created".

However he added, "in the climatic portions, Dinesh...is made to go melodramatic..this change of tone makes the final half an hour of the movie feel cinematic".

[13] IANS' reviewer gave the film 3.5 stars and stated, "The reason I think Cuckoo is one of the better love stories of modern-day cinema is because it never takes advantage of its lead characters.
