Sakkarakatti - Music Review

When I saw the promo pictures of the movie, it looked really fresh and youthful. My expectations on the music was very high since this is the first time after "Boys", Rahman is composing for a "much hyped" movie that has a lot of newcomers.

I Miss You is a very different number sung by Chinmayi. She had shown another variation in her voice and I guess ARR likes experimenting with her voice (Like Tere Bina in GURU and Sahana in SIVAJI). The song has some interesting lyrics by Na.Muthukumar that will create fever among youth.

Marudhaani is a very sofy melody that has shades of Sahana Saaral but you will definitely get awed the first time you hear the song. Madhushree has come a long way in terms of tamil pronunciation. Her accent is much better and ARR's interlude in the middle of the song is brilliant. Vaali continues to amaze everyone with his youthful poetry in this song.

Chinnamma is tamil version of ARR's similar song from MEENAXI. This song has a good mix of chorus blended with Benny Dayal's voice that touches some height. The flute notes is reminiscent of old songs, but overall the song has a very good feel.

Taxi Taxi is a typical fast youth number with lots of energy. This song has generous sprinkle of rap & thanglish from Blaaze and Benny once again shows his talent with some bold voice. This will surely be a popular hit in college circles.

Naan Eppodhu is another tamil version of hindi song from MEENAXI and this one is sung by Reena Bharadwaj who also sang the original hindi version. The song sounds very "north indian" due to the heavy use of dholak drum. The lyrics by Pa. Vijay is brilliant and the singer has beautiful voice but she perfectly fills the void that Madhushree has left in terms of awful Tamil accent.

Elay Neram by Krish and Naresh Iyer is very soothing and the highlight of the song is the wonderful orchestration. This song reminds a lot of Roobaroo from RANG DE BASANTI since it has the same youthful chorus and very serene flow. Na. Muthukumar is very impressive with lines like "காற்றின் மூஞ்சியில் கரி பூசவேண்டாம்" and "டௌரி மாப்பிள்ளைக்கு காதல் சொல்லி தருவோம்"

Overall, ARR did not disappoint by delivering a fresh breath of highly energetic youthful music.
