Lokah Chapter 1 - Chandra, the most recent Malayalam fantasy thriller starring Kalyani Priyadarshan and Naslen, is on a roll—raking in ₹236.5 crore worldwide in just 18 days.
It's now officially outperformed last year's hits Premalu and Manjummel Boys, making it one of the biggest Malayalam releases of 2024.

With glowing reviews, strong celebrity shoutouts, and a super loyal fanbase, Lokah is expected to cross ₹300 crore before it even drops on OTT platforms.
Fun fact: the franchise name "Lokah" was suggested by lyricist Vinayak Sasikumar (who also wrote the hit track Shoka Mookam), adding some extra creative flair to this already standout film.
