‘Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra’, the all-time blockbuster of Malayalam cinema, is set to achieve a new milestone. As reported by Sacnilk, the movie has grossed a whopping ₹298 crore worldwide and is soon expected to enter the ₹300 crore box office club, making Lokah the first Malayalam film to achieve this milestone.
Released on August 28, the film continues to draw packed audiences in theatres across Kerala. According to figures from BookMyShow, over 1,500 tickets were booked within an hour. Earlier, it had already set an all-time record on the platform, registering the highest ticket sales ever for a Malayalam film, with 4.51 lakh tickets sold, surpassing the previous record held by Thudarum.
The film has enjoyed strong bookings and box office success across its Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi versions as well. Presented as a big-budget fantasy thriller, Lokah features an ensemble of guest stars including Dulquer Salmaan and Tovino Thomas. It is the first film in a five-part superhero cinematic universe.
The cast also includes Naslen, Chandu Salimkumar, Arun Kurian, Sharath Sabha, Nishanth Sagar, and Vijayaraghavan. Produced by Dulquer Salmaan’s Vefeer Films, the movie has drawn particular praise for Kalyani Priyadarshan’s portrayal of Chandra, a modern reimagining of Neeli, the iconic yakshi from Kerala folklore.
Durga C Vinod, who plays the younger version of Chandra as Kalliyankattu Neeli, also received widespread acclaim for her captivating performance.
With its record-breaking box office run, pan-India appeal, and stellar ensemble cast, Lokah has firmly established itself as one of the landmark films in contemporary Malayalam cinema.
