Lokah Chapter One- Chandra, starring Kalyani Priyadarshan and Naslen in the lead roles, is witnessing a solid run at the box office. The Malayalam movie, directed by Dominic Arun, marks the beginning of a new superhero cinematic universe. Based on Kerala folklore, the film has opened to positive word-of-mouth, which is fueling its box office run and instantly reflecting in its footfalls.

After taking the 5th biggest opening of 2025 in Kerala, Lokah Chapter One- Chandra registered a good jump of 20 percent on the second day. Interestingly, the movie is performing better than its rival releases- Hridayapoorvam and Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira.

Lokah was released in a clash with Mohanlal's Hridayapoorvam and Fahadh Faasil's Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira. It is doing better than both the rival releases and has now started dominating the box office. When compared with the Lalettan film, Lokah has established a lead of Rs 15 lakh in two days, despite opening on a lower figure.
