The box office storm created by Kalyani Priyadarshan’s superhero film, Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, is showing no signs of slowing down. After an incredible two-week run in theatres, the film has achieved a massive global gross collection of over ₹210 crore. The film’s performance outside of Kerala has been particularly phenomenal, especially in Karnataka.
Even with new films in theatres, the Dominic Arun directorial is holding its ground strongly. In a huge achievement, Lokah Chapter 1 has now shattered records to become one of the biggest Malayalam hits ever in the neighbouring state.
Third Biggest Malayalam Film In Karnataka
Lokah Chapter 1 has officially become the third highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time in Karnataka. After 15 days at the box office, the film’s total gross collection in the state stands at an impressive ₹10.4 crore. What makes this achievement even more special is that the makers only released the original Malayalam version in Karnataka, proving the film’s universal appeal.
The film is now only behind two other massive blockbusters: Mohanlal’s L2: Empuraan (₹12.5 crore) and the sensational hit Manjummel Boys (₹14.7 crore). Trade experts predict that after its third weekend, Lokah Chapter 1 will easily surpass Empuraan to grab the second spot.
The Road To Becoming Number One
The big question now is whether Lokah Chapter 1 can beat Manjummel Boys to become the all-time highest-grossing Malayalam film in Karnataka. The film has a great chance, as its next major competition, Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1, is only releasing on October 2. This gives the Kalyani Priyadarshan starrer a little under three weeks of a clear run to create a new, unbeatable record. The journey to the top spot will be an exciting one to watch for movie lovers.
What’s Next For The Lokah Universe
While the first chapter is still ruling the box office, the makers have already dropped a thrilling update about the next installment. It has been officially confirmed that superstar Tovino Thomas will be joining the universe in Lokah Chapter 2. He will be playing the powerful character of Michael, a chathan, whose story will be the focus of the next film. Director Dominic Arun has stated that he will need at least a year to finalize the script before they begin shooting.
