The highly anticipated film Peddi, directed by Buchi Babu Sana and starring Ram Charan alongside Janhvi Kapoor, has kicked off its musical journey with a bang through its first single, “Chikiri Chikiri.”
Composed by the legendary AR Rahman, the song features energetic beats, folk-inspired rhythms blended with modern vibes, and captivating choreography that showcases Ram Charan’s dynamic dance moves and Janhvi Kapoor’s graceful presence.
Released just days ago, it has garnered widespread acclaim from fans and critics alike, with social media buzzing about its refreshing composition and visual appeal. The track’s multilingual versions, particularly in Telugu and Hindi, have resonated strongly, drawing praise for Mohit Chauhan’s soulful vocals and the song’s ability to evoke rural charm while delivering high-energy entertainment.
“Chikiri Chikiri” has shattered records, becoming the fastest song to cross 50 million views on YouTube in just 35 hours, surpassing even benchmarks set by hits like those from Pushpa 2. It currently dominates global and Indian YouTube charts, securing the top two spots worldwide for its Telugu and Hindi versions, while also trending in Kannada and Tamil.
The explosive response extends beyond views, with massive engagement on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), where fans share reels, dance covers, and promotions from events like AR Rahman’s Hyderabad concert. This phenomenal reception has heightened anticipation for Peddi’s theatrical release on March 27, 2026, positioning it as a potential blockbuster in Indian cinema.
