“Chikiri Chikiri,” the electrifying first single from Mega Power Star Ram Charan’s pan-India rustic drama Peddi, directed by Buchi Babu Sana, exploded onto the scene on November 7, 2025, captivating audiences with its infectious energy.
Composed by the legendary AR Rahman, the track features soulful vocals by Mohit Chauhan (Telugu/Hindi), heartfelt lyrics by Balaji evoking a village guy’s love-at-first-sight for a beautiful ‘chikiri’ (an affectionate local term for a pretty girl), and high-voltage choreography by Jani Master.
Shot in authentic real locations without VFX, the video showcases Ram Charan’s rugged transformation, effortless swag, graceful dance moves, and a viral hook step alongside Janhvi Kapoor’s glamorous charm, blending folk roots with modern beats for an unforgettable romantic number.
In an unprecedented feat, “Chikiri Chikiri” shattered records by garnering over 46 million views across multiple languages in just 24 hours, surpassing Shah Rukh Khan’s “Zinda Banda” and Allu Arjun’s “Kissik” to become the most-viewed Indian song in a single day, while hitting 32 million in merely 13 hours.
Trending on top across music platforms, #1 nationwide on YouTube, #2 globally, and topping charts in 13 countries, the song has taken over Instagram reels, dance challenges, and social media timelines, cementing its status as the season’s ultimate chartbuster ahead of Peddi’s March 27, 2026 release.
