Dhoom 3 (soundtrack) - Misplaced Pages

Dhoom 3 is the soundtrack album for 2013 action thriller film of the same name which was written and directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya and produced by Aditya Chopra, who also co-wrote the story and also serves as the third instalment of the Dhoom franchise and starred Aamir Khan, Abhishek Bachchan and Katrina Kaif in the lead roles. The film's soundtrack was composed by Pritam while the film's score was composed by Julius Packiam.

Development

It was announced that the composer of Dhoom and Dhoom 2; Pritam, would return once again to compose the music of the third instalment. Earlier reports suggested that Shefali Alvares had been roped to sing the Dhoom title track, but this turned out to be a rumour. Aamir said in a statement that the title track "Dhoom Machale Dhoom" is dedicated to Sachin Tendulkar who was then playing his 200th and final test match at the Wankhede Stadium. The song "Bande Hain Hum Uske" was sung by Shankar Mahadevan's 12-year-old son Shivam Mahadevan and Anish Sharma. His elder son Siddharth Mahadevan sung the song "Malang" in the film along with Shilpa Rao.

Reception

The music of Dhoom 3 received a mixed critical reception. Joginder Tuteja of Rediff.com noted, "There are songs like 'Tu Hi Junoon', 'Malang' and 'Kamli' that round off Dhoom 3 beautifully." Koimoi reported, "Overall it might not be the best album Pritam has come up with, but two really interesting compositions make the album scrupulous me! A noteworthy effort for sure!" The predictions turned out to be true as the album topped the iTunes charts only after the release of the film. Rohit Khilnani of India Today deemed the music "below average".
