Music Review : Dhoom 3 - Misses the Target

Dhoom 3' has probably been one of the most awaited films since the last one year. The earlier two installments were huge blockbusters and so the expectations are high from the third part that is slated to hit the screens on Dec 20. Starring Aamir Khan, Katrina Kaif, Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra, the music of Dhoom 3' has been composed by Pritam and has released worldwide. Let's see whether it lives up to its expectations.

Song 1: Dhoom Macchale

Singers: Siddharth Mahaevan, Shilpa Rao

Analysis: The album begins with the cult hit Dhoom Macchale. Sung by newcomer Aditi Singh Sharma, this song is again a remixed version from the previous versions. Pritam uses western instruments and adds a lot of fast based rap into this song. While the song has nothing new in terms of the tune, it has become the anthem for this franchise.

Song 2: Malang
Singers: Nakash Aziz, Antara Mitra

Analysis: The album moves ahead with Malang' which is a Sufi song with contemporary beats. The song has been designed in a very Indian way and the best part is where the Ragas come in the background as chorus. Shilpa Rao's voice suits the song well and will grow on you once you watch the visuals which are lavish.

Song 3: Kamli

Singers: Sunishi Chauhan
Analysis: The third song in the album is Kamli' which is Katrina Kaif's version of Aishwarya Rai's Crazy Kiya Re'. Sung by the legendary Sunidhi Chauhan, Kamli has some very contemporary beats with a very catchy tune. The song hits you instantly and with Katrina's stunning dance moves, this number is surely set to rock the charts.

Song 4: Tu Hi Junoon

Singers: Mohit Chauhan

Analysis: The fourth song in the album is Tu Hi Junoon' which is a typical montage song sung by Mohit Chauhan. Perhaps the weakest song in the album, this number has nothing much in terms of the tune or sound. A simple passable song which might hit you once you watch the visuals.

Song 5: Bande Hai Hum Uske
Singers: Antara Mitra
Analysis: The next last song is Band Hai Hum Uske' which is a heavy duty chorus sung by kids. The song has some heavy duty chords and depicts the pain in the film.

Song 6: Dhoom Macchale

Singers: Julius Packiam

Analysis:The last song in the album is the Arabic version of Dhoom Macchale. Sung by Julius Packiam, this song is unique and has been added for the promotional purpose to the album.

Verdict: Verdict: Overall, Dhoom 3 is once again a hardcore commercial album as have been the case with its previous versions. Dhoom Machale's Arabic version, Kamli and Malang are our picks. Though this album does not have tracks that will instantly hit on you, Dhoom 3s music will surely grow on you once you listen to it multiple times.

Music Review; Dhoom 3 (2013) Aamir Khan - Katrina Kaif

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2013 BOLLYWOOD CINETALK

Director: Vijay Krishna Acharya

Cast: Aamir Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Uday Chopra & Katrina Kaif

Music Director: Pritam, Julius Packiam (Track # 5, 7)

Lyricist: Amitabh Bhattacharya (Track # 2), Sameer (Track # 1, 4), Kausar Munir (Track # 3, 5)

Expectations: Dhoom 3 is the biggest release of the year and expectations from the music album are sky high as it is the most awaited album of the year.

Pritam Ki Dhoom: Pritam is one of the most famous and busy music directors in the country. Whenever Pritam is compsing a music album, chartbuster songs are guaranteed. Pritam has composed the music albums of first two installments of Dhoom and now in third installment, he is composing first time for Aamir Khan. But this is not the only unique thing, the most important is Dhoom 3 is Pritam's album no. 100 as composer. Besides Pritam, this time the famous background scorer Julius Packiam has also composed a song and an instrumental piece.

So here's our review:

Ads by PlusHD.6Ad Options

1- Malang - (Siddharth Mahadevan & Shilpa Rao): It's a 5-crore song; Most expensive Bollywood song ever and you feel it immediately when the songs starts. The composition has a Middle-Eastern feeling and Sufi feeling when it comes to hook line. Can we call it Arabic Sufi? The sargam which works as signature Dhoom tune is awesome. Siddharth Mahadevan, the son of multi talented Shankar Mahadevan, and Shilpa Rao, both are impressive. Lyrics are good. Rating 4/5

2- Kamli - (Sunidhi Chauhan): From the start, it feels that the track is inspired by Punjabi folk music. Clearly, Sunidhi Chuhan is at her best. Pritam has decorated the song beautifully. The music touches here and there, specially dubstep touch near the hook line, are amazing. Very interesting and intelligent arrangement. Lyrics are very good. Extra 0.5 points for Sunidhi Chuhan. Rating 4.25/5

3- Tu Hi Junoon - (Mohit Chauhan): Not a typical Pritam-ish song. He clearly tried to do 'Kuch Hat Ke' and he has done it with style. The track grows on you, so give it more chances before you decide not to add it in your playing list. Basic melody is catchy and has foot tapping beats. Mohit Chuhan sings the song with ease. Beautiful lyrics. Rating 3.5/5

4- Dhoom Machale Dhoom - (Aditi Singh Sharma): Everyone has listened it and mostly people are saying that the eralier Dhoom Machale-songs were better. Well, we found the new Dhoom song equally amazing and brilliant. No doubt that first Dhoom Machale-song was a smash and never-heard-type song in 2004 and in 2006, Dhoom Again raised the level of Dhoom at that level which was tough to exceed. But still, the new Dhoom song with amazing and vibrant beats impresses you, but if you have too high expectations, you will always be left disappointed. The vocals of Aditi Singh Sharma are brilliant. Rating 4/5

5- Bande Hain Hum Uske - (Shivam Mahadevan, Anish Sharma): If you want to have more from Mahadevan-family, here's the younger son of Shankar Mahadevan. A song sung by two children. Surprising! Beautiful tune, actually based on the shayeri you listened in the trailer. Background is beautiful and rhythm is really good. Rating 4/5

6- Dhoom Tap (Instrumental): First time a tap song is made in India. Tap is a form of dance characterized by using the sound of one's tap shoes hitting the floor (or other surfaces) as a percussive instrument. As such, it is also commonly considered to be a form of music. Two major variations on tap dance exist: rhythm (Jazz) tap and Broadway tap. Broadway tap focuses more on the dance. It is widely performed as a part of musical theater. Rhythm tap focuses more on musicality, and practitioners consider themselves to be a part of the Jazz tradition. The track impressed us a lot and Pritam has done a fab job here. It will be an experience to watch Aamir on big screen dancing on this tap number. Rating 4.5/5

7- Dhoom 3 Overture (Instrumental): Starts with Bande Hain Hum Uske tune on Piano and Violin orchestra. Then sound changes little a bit and thrilling beats are introduced. And then Piano and Violin orchestra come again but this time with more awesomeness. At the end, Pritam's soul comes in Julius Packiam and it makes the theme song more fab. Perfect! Rating 4.5/5

8- Dhoom Machale Dhoom (Arabic) - (Naya): This version is sung by an Arabian singer, Naya. Lyrics are Arabic and sounds good. Little bit lazy singing, but not bad. The track is same just the lyrics and singer is different. You will surely enjoy it. Rating 3.75/5

NOTE: The album is simply awesome. Better than what we were expecting.

REVIEW OVERVIEW:

Freshness .. 4.25/5

Dhoom 3 Music Review

1 min ago by Mohar Basu

Comments ( 0 )

Star Rating: 3/5 star (Three stars)

Music Director: Pritam Chakraborty

User Rating:

5 Votes

Dhoom franchise has never been known for melodious music. But it has always flaunted slick, uber tunes that has managed to diversify the realms of popular music in commercial cinema. Though irreverent lyrics has never been the style of YRF, Dhoom 3 too remains untouched by the prevalent couplets that make no sense. What Dhoom 3 manages to evoke despite struggling to barely manage above average songs is to deliver two magnificent tracks that will be hard to stop listening to. In an album even if one song stands out as impressive, it adds weightage to the overall quality of the album itself. It is those two tracks which essentially saves Dhoom 3s music from fading away from memory.

Malang - Dhoom 3 Music Review

The album kicks off with the spectacular Malang. Though we have only caught glimpses of the video from the teaser, the track is filled with just as much grandeur. Sameer Anjaan's deep lyrics and Shankar Mahadevan's enthusiastic voice is what makes the song so majestic for me. While many joined in to slam the track when the teaser released, it will be a crime to not hail the perfectly blended fusion song. In the musical that begins the piece, I even managed to find a sprinkling of Pre-modern Balkan music. Shilpa Rao's complimentary voice remains the most energetic highlight of the track which enthuses listeners to hear this magnanimous song all over again. Pritam has done a fabulous work at infusing sufi beats with heavy use of contemporary music. The lingering rags in the background have a fantastic effect. Overall, this one is a Thumbs up!

Kamli - Dhoom 3 Music Review

The next song titled Kamli sung by Sunidhi Chauhan is Dhoom 3s variation of Krazy Kiya Re! I wasn't particularly taken by the song's lyrics which were more gibberish than Krazy Kiya Res Hinglish-ities. It was pretty accurate to loop in Chauhan for this one. She delves substantial vivacity in the otherwise morose words and delivers a zestful song. The catchy beats and upbeat singing will perhaps hold your interest but this one definitely isn't among the good ones of Pritam.

Tu Hi Junoon - Dhoom 3 Music Review

Tu Hi Junoon Tu Hi Karar has a montage like music to but ranks as a disappointment for me. Coming from Mohit Chauhan who can easily be called the king of soulful singing in India, this pseudo intense song is overstretched and tedious. In terms of sound and tunes, it is extremely weak. The worst thing about this song is it drags on into drudgery!

Dhoom Machale Dhoom - Dhoom 3 Music Review

The film's Hindi title track doesn't match up to any of the previous title drags. It is plain boring. The tunes are anything but slick and reeks of the last decade in terms of music. However, it was the Arabic version of the song which is a stunning hear. Sung by Jane, the incomprehensible Arabic track seems way more promising than the original song!

Dhoom Tap - Dhoom 3 Music Review

Dhoom Taps music is brilliantly done. Despite the lack of lyrics, the piece is fabulously done. The beats remain vivacious till the last note and perhaps gives a newer dimension to the classical notion of tap music. This one is way more aggressive with mighty thumping beats. Quite wonderful!

Bande Hain Hum Uske - Dhoom 3 Music Review

And finally the last track of the film is one song you'll want to savor for a long time. It is beautiful, it is delightful and it will be one song you can't have enough of. With a fairy tale like feel to it, the song is sung by Shivam Mahadevan and Anisha Sharma. It is a poignant track and young vocalists add a lot of warmth and soul to it making it one of recent times' most memorable numbers. Bravo!

The Last Word - Dhoom 3 Music Review

Overall Dhoom 3s music manages to rank at a little above average for me. The heart wrenching Bandey Hai Hum Uske and majestic Malang casting the spell on me and because of those stirring songs Dhoom 3s music ranked higher for me. The tap music was slickly done but will be unable to gather a mass liking unfortunately. Overall it might not be the best album Pritam has come up with, but two really interesting compositions makes the album scrupulous me! A noteworthy effort for sure!
