More about Lokah universe

Released in theatres on August 28, 2025, the film received glowing reviews from both critics and audiences for its innovative concept and cinematic scale. What makes the success even more impressive is its pan-India appeal, the movie performed strongly not just in Malayalam but also in Telugu and Tamil, proving the growing reach of Malayalam cinema.



The story revolves around Chandra, played by Kalyani Priyadarshan, a superheroine who bridges myth and modernity. The film’s grand visual effects, engaging storyline, and strong female lead have been praised for setting new standards in Malayalam cinema. It marks one of the few successful attempts to build a connected superhero universe in the regional film space.

The buzz doesn’t end there. Dulquer Salmaan has already teased the sequel, Lokah Chapter 2, which will star Tovino Thomas as Chaatan. The teaser video titled When Legends Chill: Michaek x Charlie featured a fun exchange between Dulquer and Tovino, hinting at what’s next for the Lokah universe.

With its massive box-office numbers and the upcoming digital release, Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra has not only cemented its place as one of 2025’s biggest blockbusters but also laid the foundation for a larger cinematic universe that fans can’t wait to explore further.

Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra has added yet another remarkable achievement to its growing list of box office records. The Kalyani Priyadarshan-led film has successfully completed 50 days in theatres on Thursday (October 16), running on over 200 screens.

In the current era, where most wide-release films wrap up their theatrical run within 25 to 30 days, reaching the 50-day milestone is rare.
