Soundtrack
The music was composed by Daboo Malik. In a music review of the film, a writer from Koimoi wrote that "In all it’s a short and to-the-point album. Normally, in a movie of this genre there are lot of songs to lift the movie; however that’s not the case here".[6] The songs were shot in Mumbai and Pattaya, Thailand.[7]

Reception
A critic from The Times of India wrote that "There are a couple of one liners (out-and-out adult, mind you) and moments that manage to make you laugh, somewhat. But then it’s all in flashes, primarily in the first half".[8] Mansha Rastogi of Nowrunning wrote, "With hackneyed writing, garbled storyline and cliched dialogues and jokes, 3 Bachelors is devoid of reasons for one to watch it".[9] A critic from BollywoodMDB wrote that "In the name of comedy, a dull film. To watch it in theatres is wastage of time and money!"[10]
