Mamitha Baiju is in the spotlight with her latest Tamil film Dude, with Pradeep Ranganathan in the lead, hitting theatres on October 17, 2025, with reviews just trickling in. In a recent chat with The Cue Studio, Mamitha spoke about the Malayalam blockbuster Lokah, which said she watched twice.
“I watched Lokah first-day-first-show,” the Premalu actress said, while adding that she was impressed by the title cards itself. She was also all praise for the team and Dulquer Salmaan’s production house for backing this film and bringing it to this level.
“I went again to watch and this time it was with an enthusiastic crowd, who were whistling and cheering. This is what I would like to see. I messaged Kalyani saying this feels like a personal win,” the actress added.
Helmed by Dominic Arun, Lokah Chapter 1 Chandra reimagines the folktale of Kaliyankattu Neeli, often referred to as a vengeful spirit. But in the 2025 film, she is portrayed as a superhuman and as a savior of her people. Dulquer Salmaan produced the film, which will soon land on JioHotstar and OTTplay Premium, though a release date is yet to be announced. Naslen plays the other key role in the film, with cameos by Dulquer and Tovino Thomas.
On the other hand, Mamitha’s Dude released in theatres on October 17, 2025. The lead cast’s performance is winning praise from the audiences for being a pure entertainer.
