AR Rahman Strikes Back In Style With Chikiri Chikiri

Some songs don’t just drop, they burst open like fireworks. Global star Ram Charan's sports drama 'Peddi' first single Chikiri Chikiri did exactly that. In less than a day, the song raced past 50 million views on YouTube and flooded Instagram reels and Spotify charts. AR Rahman’s tune is stuck in everyone’s head, Ram Charan’s effortless dance is everywhere, and Buchi Babu’s rustic touch just tied it all together. Feels like the whole internet caught one rhythm and started moving to it.

The visuals hit differently. Johnny Master’s choreography fits Charan like a glove, neat, smooth, but full of that local spice. Buchi Babu shot everything in real locations, no fancy VFX or studio filters, and you can actually feel the soil in those frames. Fans are calling it a smart idea to release almost the whole song early, that one move doubled the buzz overnight.

Now about Rahman… the man’s back in his zone. People said he was missing that old spark, but this track? It’s got that vintage Rahman pulse, just more playful. The Telugu version alone touched 32 million in a single day, breaking through other biggies easily. There’s something about this one that feels fresh but oddly familiar, like Rahman just decided to remind everyone who he is.

The Tamil version came a little late, so numbers dipped slightly, but the craze didn’t. Altogether, the song has crossed fifty million across languages, and fans are calling it the perfect trio, Rahman’s beat, Charan’s swag, and Buchi’s raw touch. It’s more than a song now; it’s a full-blown vibe. Even folks who don’t usually dance are humming Chikiri Chikiri under their breath.
