Lokah Heading Towards Mollywood Industry Hit Status

Kalyani Priyadarshan's superhero film Lokah / Kotha Lokah has been making waves at the box office, successfully crossing the Rs 200 crore mark worldwide in just 13 days. This impressive feat makes it the fourth Malayalam film to achieve this milestone, following Manjummel Boys (241 Crs), Empuraan (265 Crs), and Thudarum (235 Crs). Lokah's strong performance can be attributed to its engaging storyline, which reimagines Kerala's beloved folklore with a modern twist, and its talented cast, including Kalyani Priyadarshan and Naslen.

Lokah's box office collection has been remarkable, with the film grossing Rs 70+ crore in Kerala and over Rs 40 crore in the rest of India within 13 days. The film's overseas collection has also been impressive, with a gross of $11 million, making it one of the few Malayalam films to touch this milestone. With its current trend, Lokah is expected to cross Rs 250 crore and potentially become the highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time.

Lokah's success is significant not only for its box office performance but also for being the first female-led South Indian film to surpass Rs 100 crore and Rs 200 crore. This achievement marks a milestone for women centric films in the industry and showcases the potential for female-led projects to drive box office success.

With its momentum showing no signs of slowing down, Lokah is poised to become one of the biggest blockbusters in Malayalam cinema. The film's planned five part cinematic universe and its potential to become the highest-grossing Malayalam film make it a project to watch out for in the coming months.
