Starring Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor in the lead, the film is one of the most-awaited releases of 2026. The first song, named 'Chikiri Chikiri,' was a huge hit, reaching over 200 million views. After that huge response, expectations were high for the next track. Living up to the hype, 'Rai Rai Raa Raa' arrives as a full-on dance number packed with energy and mass appeal.

AR Rahman’s music and Ram Charan’s swag

The class and poise, and the actor's great screen presence make the song very watchable. Jani Master has choreographed funky dance moves, which the star carries off well. The lyrics by Anantha Sriram further add to the track's mass vibe.
