In today’s Indian cinema, ordinary stories are no longer enough to pull audiences to theatres. Viewers crave bigger, more thrilling experiences, which is why sequels, crossover films, and cinematic universes have become the new norm. This trend is resonating strongly at the box office across multiple film industries.
A shining example of this is Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, which continues to impress audiences with its strong theatrical run and remarkable collections. Even after its first weekend, the film is showing impressive consistency and is dominating conversations everywhere.
Directed by Dominic Arun and produced by Dulquer Salmaan’s Wayfarer Films, the film was made on a budget of approximately ₹35 crore. Yet, the visuals and production quality give it a far grander feel, surprising many viewers. Box office reports suggest Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra could gross nearly ₹100 crore in its first week, with experts projecting the final tally could surpass ₹200 crore—a monumental achievement for a superheroine film.
Thanks to this success, Lokah is emerging as a major brand not just in Malayalam cinema, but also in Telugu and Tamil markets. Following its OTT release, the film is expected to reach an even broader pan-India audience. The team has confirmed that Lokah will be a five-part series, with all five storylines ready even before filming the first installment. Interestingly, the opening scene of Chandra contains a subtle clue about the series’ main villain, hinting at the expansive universe to come.
The success of Lokah Chapter 1 demonstrates that audiences are ready to embrace fresh genres and innovative storytelling. If the upcoming chapters maintain the same high quality, Lokah has the potential to become one of Indian cinema’s biggest and most celebrated cinematic universes.
