It's normal when you're in liftoff for it to seem that the engines have shut off. You'll hear this loud noise coming from the engine as the plane is on the runway which continues when it lifts off into the air.
As its altitude is increasing it sounds like the engines shut off. Don't worry, that's normal. They'll 'go back on' again.
