Lokah: Chapter 1, Chandra has emerged as one of the biggest successes in the Malayalam film industry. Starring Kalyani Priyadarshan in the lead role and directed by Dominic Arun, the film is produced by Dulquer Salmaan. Upon release, it received widespread acclaim from audiences and critics alike. Its Telugu-dubbed version, Kotha Lokah, also garnered positive talk, and the film is now poised to cross the ₹200 crore mark at the box office.
The success of Lokah highlights the rapid growth of Malayalam cinema and demonstrates how a superhero film can deliver high technical value even on a modest budget. Strong ticket sales continue to fuel optimism, and if this momentum holds over the next couple of weeks—during a period with no major Malayalam releases—the film could become an all-time industry hit.
Despite relatively low-key promotions, Lokah has already emerged as the Onam box office winner, proving that good content and strong storytelling can drive audience engagement. Adding to the excitement, Dulquer Salmaan has confirmed that Mammootty will appear in one of the sequels of the Lokah universe and has promised to share profits with the team, signaling a bright future for the franchise.
