“Loka – Chapter One: Chandra”, continues its unstoppable box office run by crossing the ₹200 crore global collection mark just 13 days after release. Produced by Wayfarer Films and directed by Dominic Arun, the film has now become the fourth-ever Malayalam movie to achieve this significant milestone. Starring Kalyani Priyadarshan and Nazlen in lead roles, Loka has shattered records, rapidly gaining momentum as one of the all-time blockbusters in the Malayalam film industry.
“Loka – Chapter One: Chandra” entered the prestigious ₹100 crore club within its first week, signaling massive audience support not only in Kerala but across India. The film’s success extends beyond the Malayalam-speaking audience, with its Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi versions generating substantial box office returns in other major markets, reflecting its strong Pan India appeal. Industry experts attribute the success to the film’s high production values, engaging fantasy thriller narrative, and star-studded cast that includes several prominent guest appearances.
Notably, Loka has achieved the highest box office collection ever for a film featuring a heroine in a leading role in South Indian cinema, highlighting its trailblazing position in the industry. The combination of Dulquer Salmaan’s star power, Kalyani Priyadarshan’s performance, and Dominic Arun’s direction has struck a chord with audiences nationwide.
Adding to the excitement, the film universe’s next chapter will feature Malayalam superstar Mammootty as “Moothon,” a pivotal character, officially announced on his birthday. This announcement has further amplified anticipation, cementing Loka as a film universe that promises more installments and expansive storytelling.
As Loka continues its theatrical journey with record-breaking daily collections, the industry watches closely to see if it will break further box office barriers in the coming weeks.
