Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, made on a ₹30 crore budget, has collected ₹200 crore in two weeks. In Kerala, it equaled Baahubali 2’s ₹74.7 crore record, becoming the fourth-highest grosser.

The film gave Kalyani Priyadarshan a breakthrough with her acclaimed role as Chandra, directed by Dominic Arun and written by Shanthi Balachandran.

Produced by Dulquer Salmaan, its strong visuals, music, and story proved that content-driven films can triumph without star power.
