RAHMAN maintains his class with style in "SAKKARAKATTI"

"ALL PRAISES TO THE ALMIGHTY"... The first words that come from Rahman whenever he starts conversation with anyone. I also like to thank the ALMIGHTY for giving me the topic for my second post ;-) [Phew.. Was a very tough thing for me to decide after the first post].... i wanna review Rahman's magic in 'SAKKARAKATTI' in my style.. Am i capable of commenting on Rahman's music???[I ll ask it myself before u people try to ask it to me ;-) ]. Ya. A sensible question. My answer is, "No way guys. I have decided to do it. So no one gonna stop me... he he he." [Trying to give a villain's touch here ;-) ].Ok. Let me start it. I downloaded these songs[Thanks to the uploaders :-)... Good work guys.. keep rocking] coz i heard it from my buddies that its Rahman's album. When i had the first rush of all the songs, i was a bit satisfied. On repeated listenings i was sure of blockbuster songs of 2008 :-)

1) TAXI TAXI(Benny,Blaaze,Viviane,Javed) - My pick of the album. A peppy number from ARR.Gonna top the charts and the young hearts. The beats and the rap by blaaze can make anyone dance. Makes you like it the very first time you listen to it. It reminds me Daddy yankee at certain places but its the Rahman's touch that makes you enjoy it to the core :-)

2) ELAY(Krish,Harish) - Its the strings that carry this song with the same momentum from the beginning till the end. The lyrics portray the present thoughts of the youth beautifully.It has the style of 'Robaroo' from Rang de basanti but the violin and the guitars makes you forget that easily. This song gonna be a style statement among the young guns.

3) I MISS U DA(Chinmayi) - An erotic and enigmatic number from Rahman.Rahman is at his best here, with flawless harmony. The musical interludes coupled with the erotic voice by Chinmayi takes the listeners by surprise. It is like feeling the soft warmth of the early morning sun while on a leisurely walk.

4) CHINNAMMA CHILAKAMMA(Benny,Chinmayi) - Song has been inspired by Rahman's Chinamma song in 'Meenaxi'(Bollywood). Beginning with a brilliant flute, it goes on to gather momentum. The chorus does a fine work along with the female lead. I have not heard the hindi version completely but this tamil version is refreshing and reverberating. Rahman does a commendable work with the instruments thats sure of making this number a hit.

5) NAAN EPPODHU (Reena Bharadwaj) - This number is also from one of Rahman's bollywood tunes. This is the only song in this album which has not attracted me much. Maybe it doesny sink well with the tamil lyrics. But i am sure that it can start haunting you on repeated listenings. Slow poison - Rahman's music :-)

6) MARUDHAANI(Madhushree, Rahman) - A romantic number from ARR's music factory after "Munbe vaa". Its Madhushree who carries the song well.Rahman's voice which comes in at the exact places, lifts up the song very well along with the feel. I read in an article that this song is the romantic feelings of a boy in a girl's point of view [A scintillating thought from a debutant director ;-)... Tamil movies are sure for Oscars in the future.. he he he]. Let the director think anything. But Rahman has done full justice to this number.To all the girls out there - "Here is another romantic song, ready to be added on to your favourites list ;-) "....

My final verdict is "DON'T MISS IT"....My Rating is 4/5.

BIT NEWS: Rahman was not sure of doing this project coz he was busy with other commitments.Director Kalaprabu(Producer Kalaipuli Thanu's son) wanted Rahman at any cost as he is gonna be the crowd puller for the film. Kalaprabu gave six tunes(which rahman did in bollywood) to ARR and asked him to do them in tamil.But Rahman did not want to disappoint his fans so he did 4 new tunes and the rest 2 from hindi. Cheers to the man :-). The "MOZART OF INDIA".
