Lokah Chapter 1 Chandra Boxoffice Collection

The Malayalam superhero film "Lokah Chapter 1 Chandra" has created history with a record-breaking weekend at the box office, despite competing with Mohanlal's "Hridayapoorvam." The film collected around 65 Cr gross worldwide, with a huge jump day by day on the opening weekend. Directed by Dominic Arun, the film scores the all-time 3rd biggest weekend for Malayalam cinema after Mohanlal's "Empuraan" and "Thudarum."

The film's success can be attributed to its strong numbers not only in the Malayalam belts but also in the Telugu States and Tamil Nadu. The Telugu version, titled "Kotha Lokah," has also been performing well. The advance bookings for the film are super strong, and the trade expects it to easily do 150 Cr + gross in its full run and even go beyond 200 Cr + if the same trend continues.

The film has already broken records, surpassing Mohanlal's 2013 blockbuster "Drishyam," which had earned ₹62 crore. The film's worldwide haul at the end of its extended opening weekend stands at over ₹63 crore, with overseas collection crossing $4 million ( ₹35 crore). The film's momentum suggests that it won't be long before it crosses ₹100 crore.

" Lokah Chapter 1" is the first installment of the Wayfarer Cinematic Universe, and its success has generated high expectations for the franchise. The film has been universally acclaimed by critics and fans, and its blend of Indian folklore with modern sci-fi and horror has been well received. With its record-breaking weekend and strong box office performance, "Lokah" is shaping up to be a major hit in Malayalam cinema.
