Reception
editThe 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!"[18] 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".[19]
