Lokah Chapter 1 Becomes Biggest Malayalam Film of All Time in India Surpassing Manjummel Boys
Lokah is set to become the first Malayalam film ever to cross the Rs. 300 crore mark in the coming days.
After becoming the highest grossing Malayalam film of all time worldwide, Lokah Chapter One - Chandra has taken the crown domestically as well. The Kalyani Priyadarshan - Naslen starrer grossed Rs. 5.50 crore approx in its fifth weekend, taking its total to Rs. 170.25 crore and pushing it past Manummel Boys.
Additionally, the film has grossed USD 13.20 million (Rs. 116.75 crore) overseas, bringing its worldwide total to Rs. 287 crore. It is set to become the first Malayalam film ever to cross the Rs. 300 crore mark in the coming days.
In Kerala, Lokah has grossed Rs. 111.20 crore, making it the second-biggest film ever in the state, just behind Thudarum (Rs. 118.90 crore). The film is on course to challenge for the top spot, depending on its performance next week. Beyond Kerala, it has performed superbly in Tamil Nadu, where it is headed for a Rs. 25 crore finish. Karnataka and the Telugu states have also contributed well, with nearly Rs. 15 crore each. There was also a Hindi dubbed version, but that didn’t find much patronage; Mollywood films almost never do.
