Peddi's Chikri Chikri wooes fans: Ram Charan's hook step and Mohit Chauhan's voice are showing stealers

The anticipation around Ram Charan’s next release, Peddi, has been steadily increasing with every update. Earlier this week, the makers dropped a short promo for the first single, Chikiri Chikiri, offering a brief look at Ram Charan’s dance style in the film. That short clip alone was enough to create buzz across social media, and now the full lyrical video is finally out.

Chikiri Chikiri is positioned as a key emotional beat in the film. It marks Peddi’s moment of love at first sight. The narrative here is simple but evocative: a rugged man from the mountains encounters a woman from the village, played by Janhvi Kapoor, and the world around him shifts. The song captures that sudden wave of emotion through melody, rhythm, and visuals.

Balaji’s lyrics lean into the perspective of a grounded, earthy character who is not used to articulating his feelings, making the confession feel sincere rather than dramatic. Mohit Chauhan’s voice adds softness to the track, while A.R. Rahman layers the composition with a mix of folk textures and modern production, keeping the sound fresh but rooted.

The choreography is where the song finds its pulse. Jani Master, who has a long and successful history working with Ram Charan, uses the track’s folk energy to build sequences that are expressive without becoming loud. Ram Charan’s footwork and fluid transitions stand out, reminiscent of the charm he brought to earlier mass numbers, yet with a more grounded, romantic tone.

This collaboration brings back memories of several hit dance tracks the duo has delivered in the past, from Dillaku Dillaku to Jigelu Rani. Fans who felt Game Changer lacked a signature hook step will likely appreciate what Chikiri Chikiri brings back to the table. The number seems built to stay in rotation, both in theatres and on social platforms where dance routines quickly find new life.

With the film already carrying strong expectations, Chikiri Chikiri adds momentum to Peddi’s build-up. The song suggests that the film will not only lean into intense storytelling but also celebrate emotion, music, and performance with equal weight.
