Dominic Arun’s superhero film Lokah Chapter 1 – Chandra has shattered multiple records in Mollywood. Not only is it the highest-grossing Malayalam film ever, but it has also become the first to exceed the ₹300 crore milestone, overtaking industry veterans like Mohanlal and Mammootty.
Debuting in theaters on August 28, Lokah has quickly turned into the year’s unexpected blockbuster. According to industry reports, it has surpassed ₹299.9 crore within the first 40 days of release, officially crossing the ₹300 crore threshold.
This achievement establishes Lokah as the first ever to reach this significant benchmark in Malayalam cinema, leaving in its dust the previous record holders like Mohanlal’s L2 Empuraan, which earned ₹265.5 crore, and Soubin Shahir’s Manjummel Boys with ₹240 crore.
Currently still screening, Lokah not only stands as the highest-grossing Malayalam film but also holds the records for the highest grossing in Kerala and the third-highest opening weekend for a Malayalam film globally.
Lokah Chapter 1 features a stellar cast including Kalyani, Naslen, Sandy, Arun Kurian, and Chandu Salim Kumar. Notable cameos include producer Dulquer Salmaan, Tovino Thomas, and Mammootty, who lends his voice to the character Moothon. The storyline revolves around the enigmatic Chandra/Neeli, a yakshi/vampire who confronts a self-absorbed policeman named Nachiyappa.
Furthermore, a sequel titled Lokah Chapter 2 has been announced, featuring Tovino as a goblin named Michael and potentially including Dulquer as a ninja.
