Lokah Worldwide Box Office Day 4: Kalyani Priyadarshan's Superhero Saga Takes Flight With Blockbuster Weekend

Kochi, September 1 - The Malayalam superhero spectacle Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, starring Kalyani Priyadarshan and Naslen, has a massive extended opening weekend at the worldwide box office. Directed by Dominic Arun, the film has struck gold with audiences, setting new benchmarks for Malayalam cinema.

On Sunday (Day 4), Dulquer Salmaan's Wayfarer Films production registered its biggest day yet in India, grossing over 11.50 crores, a remarkable jump that highlighted its growing momentum. This pushed the film's domestic total to approximately 28.25+ crores gross, which is among the all-time biggest for Malayalam cinema. The superhero drama has also been a massive hit overseas. With consecutive 20+ crore worldwide days, the film's overall tally now stands at 65+ crores worldwide after its extended four-day opening weekend. If the current estimates hold, Lokah will comfortably rank among the top 5 biggest Malayalam openers of all time, joining an elite list of top stars' blockbusters that have elevated the industry's stature in the global market.

Lokah's impressive box office run signals a new chapter for Malayalam cinema, proving that the industry can deliver large-scale, globally appealing spectacles while retaining strong storytelling. Kalyani Priyadarshan’s turn as a superheroine has struck a chord with both youth and family audiences, while Dominic Arun's direction, Jakes Bejoy's BGM and Dulquer Salmaan's production vision have been widely praised.

What is Next For Lokah Chapter 1?

After the massive opening weekend, which has taken the trade, including the distributors, by surprise, the sky is the limit for the superhero film. It has turned into a box office phenomenon that isn't going to stop anytime soon. The advances for Monday are super strong and better than the opening day. With the current trend, the film is very likely to enter the 100 crores club worldwide in the opening week itself. All eyes will be on what happens next after it achieves this inevitable milestone.
