3BHK is the soundtrack album to the 2025 film of the same name directed by Sri Ganesh and produced by Arun Viswa of Shanthi Talkies, starring Siddharth, R. Sarathkumar, Devayani, Meetha Raghunath, Chaithra J Achar and Yogi Babu. The film's soundtrack and background score are composed by Amrit Ramnath in his sophomore outing after Varshangalkku Shesham (2024). The album featured nine songs with lyrics written by Karthik Netha, Vivek, Paal Dabba and Ganesh himself. Preceded by two singles—"Kanavellam" and "Idi Mazhai"—the soundtrack was released on 26 June 2025, under the Think Music label.
Background Amrit Ramnath, who debuted in cinema with the Malayalam film Varshangalkku Shesham (2024), made his Tamil film debut with 3BHK. He felt he was chosen as the film's composer after director Sri Ganesh liked his work in non-film music. Sri Ganesh said that when the album was being conceptualised, he wanted to do soulful music like that of '96 (2018), thinking purely about the music instead of garnering traction through short-form social media contents.
Release The first single from the album "Kanavellam" was released on 21 May 2025. The second "Idi Mazhai" was released on 21 June. The soundtrack was released by Think Music on 26 June.
Track listing
Reception Srinivasa Ramanujam of The Hindu stated "Music composer Amrit Ramnath, who dished out a terrific soundtrack in Malayalam filmVarshangalukku Shesham, debuts in Tamil cinema with this and brings along a fresh musical perspective, thus servicing the needs of such a film to the fullest. Peppering the catchy stock musical phrase — ‘Kanavellam Nijamaga...’ — throughout the many phases in the film adds value." Swaroop Kodur of The Indian Express felt that Amrit being over-employed as a result, "the background score is present throughout to nudge us emotionally and the constant coaxing becomes too much to handle after a point, particularly in the second half." A reviewer based at Ananda Vikatan wrote "Music director Amrit Ramnath weaves melancholy through background scores, while songs as montages flow seamlessly." Janani K. of India Today also complimented Amrit's music as one of the positive aspects. S. Viswanath of Deccan Herald wrote "The film is also aided by a soulful background score by debutant Amrit Ramnath, the son of well-known playback singer Bombay Jayashri."
