Speaking strictly about the film itself, I would say that Dhoom 2 is the best of all three Dhoom movies. The action and acting performances are well above the first film, and it still maintains the distinct Bollywood feel that the third film seemed to be intentionally straying from. Speaking in terms of its songs, however, the second film has the least memorable songs. The only song that really stuck with me from this one was "Crazy Kiya Re", whereas the other two got me with at least half of their output.
However, this one does have the best packaging of all three original soundtracks. (There is a sweet edition released around Germany of a combo pack with the first two films' soundtracks plus bonus tracks, but I don't have this edition.) It's in a digipak that within its three folds contains a card for mobile download, the main CD, and an awesome pack of autographed cards of each of the main cast. My copy didn't come with the mobile card, but the collectible signed cards were there, and in excellent condition.
The CD, unfortunately, was covered in scratches, and the spine of the digipak was bending down the middle. It was a miracle that I could get the CD to rip without a hitch. It's also a shame that because of its unique packaging, I'm pretty screwed when it comes to trying to replace any component of the packaging short of just tracking down a copy in better condition. It is the crappiest thing about grabbing digipaks, regardless of how awesome they are. Oh well.
The tracklisting is as follows:
2. Touch Me
4. Dil Laga Na
5. Crazy Remix
6. Dhoom Again
