Lokah Chapter 1 Chandra, which released in theatres for Onam 2025 in August, became the first Malayalam film to break into the Rs 300 crore club. The woman-led superhero film helmed by Dominic Arun, toppled the likes of Mohanlal’s L2 Empuraan and the survival thriller Manjummel Boys to become the highest-grosser in Malayalam. Backed by actor-producer Dulquer Salmaan, Lokah has amassed Rs 303.52 crore in worldwide collections, as per industry tracker Sacnilk. And the box office verdict for Lokah is that it has emerged to become an all-time blockbuster.
Mohanlal-starrer Empuraan, directed by actor-director Prithviraj Sukumaran, was the previous topper with Rs 266.81 crore.
The India gross collection of Lokah is Rs 183.62 crore, while the overseas collection is Rs 119.9 crore.
The film, which reimagined a classic Kerala folklore, was released in other Indian languages of Tamil, Telugu and even Hindi.

But even after its OTT release date was announced, Lokah continues to run in select screens.
