Well SK (Sakkarakatti) was one of the awaited movies of 2008 because ARR marks his return to Kollywood after Sivaji in June 2007.....Many people were surprised with the fact that ARR agreed to score music for this film considering the fact that it isnt a big scale production....but reports say that ARR was blown away by the script.....Well we can only wait and see for the movie's analysis but the songs have made a major impression already....
The director had asked ARR to re record 5 of his Hindi compositions in tamil due to his busy schedule, but the maestro has given 4 fresh tracks and the other 2 are improved versions of his hindi tracks from the movie Meenaxi.....I'll start my review with those two songs...
1)Chinnamma.....
Well this song was one of my favourites in hindi and it sounds even better in tamil......the vocals are the main forte.....Benny and Chinmayee impress everyone with their vocal versatility.....Very catchy chorus with brilliant beats and an appropriate bass track......this song leaves most listeners spell bound.... RATING:9.1/10
2)Naan Epodhu.....
I personally feel that the lyrics suit the hindi version better though Reena Bharadwaj has sung this version as well in the same beautiful manner.....But all those who have not listened to "Yeh Rishta' will love this track....Gr8 melody.....the natural instruments and the percussions add splendid feel to the song...... RATING:9.0/10
3)I Miss you da.....
Very commercial track i guess based on the needs of the movie......very unique and different...most people dont like this song because their unable to understand the melody....but special mention to Chinmayee...never knew she could sing in such a sexy voice.....This is one of those ARR tracks that will grow onto you.....and the song's value will be enhanced by the video hopefully.....I wont consider this song as a Rahman Masterpiece but brilliant experimentation... RATING:7.8/10
4) Maarudhaani.....
The song start has a very electronic and commercial feel like any Yuvan or HJ song but when Madhushree starts singing the song, u will realise the beauty of this tune's melody......Her voice is like the nectar of life...damn sweet....the chorus has got a gr8 feel.....AN ABSOLUTELY MIND BLOWING PIANO INTERLUDE by ARR....dont miss it....one of his longest pieces in cinema i guess.....Then he hums a mesmerizing bit at the end of both the auxiliary stanza's..incidentally ARR has sung only this little bit in the entire music album.....the only drawback of this track is the monotonous electronic beats throughout but nonetheless a great song.....
RATING:8.5/10
5)Elay....
My favourite track in this album.....another feather in ARR's Roobaroo genre cap.....excellent Strumming......brilliant Bass track.....mind blowing vocals and harmonies....and a blend of violin pieces inspired by track 'Toss the feathers' by The Corrs......not to forget trademark ARR's tune,feel and chord shifts......Adding all we get an amazing song......Very catchy and high recall value......Naresh Iyer is gr8 as usual but Rahman proves that with his expertise even an average over-hyped singer like Krishh can sound decent in an audio track....Great work ARR...
RATING:9.4/10
6)Taxi Taxi....
Every ARR album has one track that become an instant super hit as soon as it hits the market.....Thats Taxi for you....Rahman uses the simple hip hop Gasolina beat and fuses Blaaze's trendy punjabi inspired rap and his own genre of music.....what we hear is an amazing track....brilliant vocals ....though there are many people singing this track....Blaaze rocks....The first interlude is really wonderful to hear....the Girl muttering stuff in a foreign language plays a perfect foil to the track....The lyrics of this song are really youthful and Urbane...the mama mama but sounds like an improved Crazy Frog [;)]......this song will rock every audio system t=in town for a while...theres no doubt....Just get onto ARR's taxi.....
RATING:9.5/10
Overall Verdict:
- Once again ARR comes up with a great album
- Taxi and Elay are the highlights
- Definitely worth a buy
- RATING:9.0/10

Great review dude...Elay's my favourite song too...And i love rahman's singing in the middle of marudani...he should sing more of his songs!!
LOL it's hillarious imagining crazy frog riding the taxi ;-! making mama sound at some police mama as he pimps up his car to the blaaze rap and blazes away in his car!
Taxi is my favourite....Thalai rocks with his music as always
Dude great review, but i differ from u when u say Krishh is a very ordinary singer. I feel he hasn't got enuf good songs to prove himself. I love his voice. Ive heard him sing a few old songs. He was brilliant. Anyways we can judge him better when he gets a challenging track tho.. Rock on with your reviews. Becoming an ardent fan of your reviews. Even Itwofs Karthik would be ignored from now on i guess [:D]
