Dhoom 3 (soundtrack)
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, who replaced Salim-Sulaiman from the first two films.
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.While Sameer Anjaan returned to write the lyrics for Dhoom 3, he eventually wrote only two songs including the title track due to an earlier fallout with Pritam, while two additional lyricists, Amitabh Bhattacharya and Kausar Munir, wrote a song each. Sameer and Pritam eventually did not work with each other for at least a decade, though they briefly shared lyricist-composer credit alongside Bhattacharya and Tanishk Bagchi in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. They ultimately reunited 12 years later for the Salman Khan-starrer Sikandar, whose soundtrack failed to leave a mark.
