The song Chikiri Chikiri from Peddi, starring Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor, has created a sensation ever since its release two weeks ago. Composed by AR Rahman and directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the film is mounted as a rustic yet grand sports drama. From the moment it dropped, ‘Chikiri Chikiri’ has electrified digital platforms with record-breaking momentum, marking one of the most explosive starts for an Indian film song in recent times.
As a result, the song has amassed over 100 million cumulative views across languages. Leading the numbers is the Telugu version, which continues to dominate with close to 65 million views and nearly 1 million likes, reaffirming Ram Charan’s powerful connection with his native audience. The Hindi version has notched up 25 million views, while the Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam versions together contribute another 10 million — solidifying the song’s pan-Indian success.
Penned by Balaji in Telugu, the track has resonated across continents, transcending cultural and linguistic barriers with ease. Its infectious rhythm, folk-infused energy, and visually rich cinematic presentation have drawn listeners from around the world.
Ram Charan, known for his exceptional dancing skills and screen presence, delivers raw, rustic, yet irresistibly graceful moves in the song. Fans across the globe are recreating his choreography, turning social media into a Chikiri festival. High-energy dance reels, stylized edits, and fan tributes continue to flood timelines, further amplifying the song’s buzz and reach. The song has also generated a lot of discourse with the presence of Janhvi Kapoor who adds great sensuality to the music video.
Also starring Divyenndu and Jagapathi Babu, Peddi is scheduled to release on March 27, 2026. The film is produced by Vriddhi Cinemas, and presented by Sukumar under Sukumar Writings.
