Reception
[edit]The album received mostly mixed reviews from critics. Critic based at Indo-Asian News Service stated that "the music of Krrish 3 is not superb, but it entertains".[11][12] Joginder Tuteja of Rediff.com rated two-and-a-half out of five, summarizing "As stated in the beginning, the Krrish 3 soundtrack had to be nothing short of magnificent. But it doesn't come anywhere close to that. Though a couple of chartbuster songs would have elevated the musical aspects of the film, an absence of that won't make any difference to the movie watching experience since Krrish 3 as a brand would be enough to sustain and enhance audience interest in what unfolds on screen."[13]
Bryan Durham of The Times of India wrote "Rajesh Roshan soundtracks have, over the years, held constant spots on my personal playlists. It, therefore, comes as something of a disappointment to listen to his latest effort. Krrish 3 doesn't quite hold its own against other worthy contemporaries" and called it as a "complete letdown".[14] Karthik Srinivasan of Milliblog summarized "Krrish 3 is the soundtrack equivalent of LOL".[15]
