Lokah Worldwide Box Office Day 3: Kalyani Priyadarshan's Superhero Flick Packs a Mighty Punch

Kochi, August 31 - The Malayalam cinema's Marvel-sque blockbuster Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, fronted by Kalyani Priyadarshan, is proving to be a force at the global box office. The film started as an underdog, but turned into a phenomenon with excellent growth over the weekend. After the better-than-expected opening (Thursday), followed by big growth on Friday, the film witnessed another excellent jump of over 65% on Saturday (Day 3), taking its worldwide collection to impressive new heights. On its third day, Lokah grossed around 20 crores worldwide, marking its biggest single-day total so far. The growth came both from the domestic market and overseas territories, showcasing its wide appeal. In India, the superhero saga grossed around 8.50 crores, while overseas collection was 11-12 crores. With Saturday's extraordinary performance, Lokah has reached a 3-day worldwide total of around 39–40+ crores gross. The upward trend has not only solidified the film's position at the box office but also opened the gates for an even bigger Sunday haul. The film has been riding high on positive reviews and strong word of mouth, especially for Kalyani Priyadarshan’s refreshing take on a homegrown superhero. With momentum on its side, Lokah is expected to soar further on Sunday and finish its first weekend with a massive total of 60+ crores gross. If the trend continues, the film could be on course to hit the ₹100 crore worldwide club in the opening week itself, making it one of the strongest openers in Malayalam cinema. Stay tuned...

Hridayapoorvam vs Lokah Chapter 1 Box Office Day 1: Mohanlal's Family Drama Wins Opening As Kalyani Priyadarshan's Superhero Saga Emerges As Dark Horse

Kochi, August 28 - The Malayalam film industry has its moment, once again, as two of its most-anticipated films - Hridayapoorvam and Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra - open big at the box office during the Onam holiday period, despite clashing against each other on the same day and date. The Mollywood industry normally doesn't indulge in the box office clashes, but to get the advantage of the Onam holidays, superstar Mohanlal's family comedy drama Hridayapoorvam was pitched against Kalyani Priyadarshan's superhero film Lokah, and the gamble seems to have worked as both films open with positive reception and solid openings at the box office. The opening day battle is won by the Mohanlal-starrer, which has scored 3.80 crores gross collection in India and 8.35 crores worldwide. However, the movie got tough competition from Lokah, which looks like going to be a major box office winner. Despite clashing with the Malayalam titan, the first instalment in the filmmaker Dulquer Salmaan's Wayfarer Cinematic Universe has taken a very good start of around 3.15 crores gross in India and over 6.50 crores worldwide. The critics' reviews and audience reception for Lokah are super positive, and seeing the opening day box office trajectory, it is going to rule the opening extended Onam weekend domestically, especially in Kerala. If early signs are anything to go by, the Kalyani Priyadarshan-fronted superhero saga could emerge as a big blockbuster in the long run. Trade experts note that while Hridayapoorvam has secured a bigger opening day tally, the sustainability of Lokah Chapter 1 could shift the momentum as the weekend progresses, as the superhero genre can explode if audience reception is on the positive side. Chandra has the potential to grow stronger in the coming days, much like earlier cult successes in regional cinema. Stay tuned...

Lokah Chapter 1 - Chandra Box Office Preview: Kalyani Priyadarshan's Superhero Saga Aims To Achieve What Minnal Murali Missed

Kochi, August 28 - The Malayalam cinema is ready to strike again, and this time, in the most unfamiliar territory, superhero, with Kalyani Priyadarshan-fronted Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra. Indian superhero space has always been a tricky one, unlike Hollywood, which churns out global blockbusters. Here, we have only seen a handful of attempts in the genre, and when it comes to Malayalam, the examples are minimal. Before Lokah, the Mollywood industry had a chance to shine at the box office with Tovino Thomas' Minnal Murali (2021) in the superhero genre, but the makers' reluctance and lack of patience amid the growing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic didn't let that chance become a reality. Director Basil Joseph's film stood tall as a genuine masterpiece — a film that blended local flavour with superhero spectacle. Yet, despite the critical acclaim and the public approval, Minnal Murali never had the chance to prove itself at the box office, owing to its direct-to-digital release on Netflix during the pandemic. Well, the Mollywood, widely regarded as the content factory, has another opportunity to strike gold at the box office with a superhero, and this is where Lokah Chapter 1 – Chandra steps in. Headlined by Kalyani Priyadarshan, the film is already drawing attention as one of the most ambitious superhero outings in Mollywood. The initial word of mouth of the film is highly positive, with early audiences praising its ambitious universe that blends entertainment with heroism beautifully. It is the first instalment in the planned Wayfarer Cinematic Universe, from filmmaker Dulquer Salmaan's Wayfarer Films. Lokah managed to score decent advances of around 1 crore for the opening day, and seeing the early reception, the superhero film is in for a blockbuster ride at the box office. The movie is already seeing a surge in advance sales for the evening and night shows, putting itslef on course to take a very good opening domestically. For Kalyani Priyadarshan, Lokah could be a career-defining moment. While she has impressed in various roles across Malayalam and Tamil cinema, stepping into the shoes of a superhero puts her in a rare league, especially as one of the few female leads spearheading a superhero saga in Indian cinema.

Kalyani Priyadarshan's Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra Creates History, Becomes Highest-Grossing Female-Led South Indian Film

Kochi, September 2 - Kalyani Priyadarshan's superhero film Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra scripts a major win for the female-led films as it has created history by becoming the highest-grossing South Indian film of all time. The film, which was released to decent anticipation, has stormed the box office by collecting over 80 crores gross worldwide in just 5 days. It has become the highest-grossing female-led film in South Indian cinema history on its 6th day, by beating Keerthi Suresh's Mahanati (84+ crores) as the worldwide total is expected to be over 90 crores at the end of the day. For years, female-centric films in South cinema have been celebrated for their critical acclaim and path-breaking storytelling, but only a few managed to set benchmarks commercially. Until now, Mahanati (84.5 crores), Rudhrama Devi (82 crores), Arundhati (68.5 crores), and Bhagamathie (64 crores) held the top spots in this category. With Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra racing past these films in less than a week, the film has rewritten box office history. The top 5 biggest South Indian female-led grossers are dominated by the lady superstar Anushka Shetty, with three films, which were released in the era of male dominance. Those films (Rudhrama Devi, Arundhati, Bhagamathie) will be miles ahead of Lokah if adjusted with inflation, but with non-inflation, the Malayalam blockbuster has claimed the title. Kalyani Priyadarshan’s Big Moment Kalyani, daughter of acclaimed filmmaker Priyadarshan, has steadily built her reputation in South Indian cinema, but Lokah marks a true turning point in her career. Her powerful portrayal of Chandra has not only resonated with audiences but also proven that female-led films can achieve blockbuster status on par with mainstream star-driven projects.

The Future of Superhero Lokah Franchise Revealed: Promises To Be An Epic Conclusion

Kochi, September 2 - The Malayalam cinema has its own Marvellous beginning of the superhero franchise, Lokah. The first part of the series, Lokah Chapter 1 - Chandra, starring Kalyani Priyadarshan, was released recently amid glowing reviews, which led the movie to do wonders at the box office. Directed by Dominic Arun, Chandra has set the box office on fire, and scored the third biggest opening weekend ever for Malayalam cinema with 66 crores gross collection worldwide. This is by far the biggest Mollywood opening for a female-led title, and also for the superhero genre, which, anyway, is largely unexplored. Chandra featured post-credit scenes, featuring Dulquer Salmaan, who is also the producer of the film, and Tovino Thomas, as both will lead the next chapters of the franchise. As the anticipation is now all-time high for what will be going to unfold in the Lokah universe, the details regarding its future have been revealed. During the recent interview, cinematographer Nimish Ravi reportedly revealed that Lokah will be a five-part epic saga, where each film will be bigger than the last one. He also revealed that the director has already locked the stories for all five movies, which means the next film in the franchise will start rolling soon. Going by Ravi's words, Lokah will have a Marvel-esque conclusion where the heroes of the Lokah universe are likely to fight the main villain of it. If people are wondering who could be the main villain, he revealed that right from the opening scene of Chandra, there is a hidden clue about the ultimate villain of the series. With the astonishing success of Chandra, it is needless to say that the sky will be the limit for the next film. Stay tuned...

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.

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.

Hridayapoorvam vs Lokah Day 2 Box Office: Kalyani Priyadarshan's Superhero Film Outshines Mohanlal's Family Drama

Kochi, August 30 - The Onam box office clash between Mohanlal's family comedy drama Hridayapoorvam and Kalyani Priyadarshan's superhero spectacle Lokah Chapter 1 – Chandra has taken a drastic turn on Day 2 after the former winning the opening day battle at the domestic and worldwide box office. What looked like a comfortable lead for Hridayapoorvam after its solid opening has now shifted gears, as Lokah gained major momentum powered by positive word of mouth. On its opening day, Mohanlal's Hridayapoorvam emerged as the bigger film with around 8.50 crores gross worldwide against Lokah's 6.50+ crores gross, but by Day 2, the tables had turned. Lokah, with its fresh superhero theme and youth appeal, saw a sharp jump in occupancy across urban centres, especially in multiplexes and late-night shows. The film's strong reception among Gen Z as well as families has clearly given it an edge, as it grossed over 10 crores worldwide on the second day, while Mohanlal-starrer made around 7 crores. Lokah not only matched but overtook Hridayapoorvam in almost every key territory, including Kerala and overseas. The buzz on social media is also playing a huge role, as clips and fan reviews praising Kalyani's performance perfectly blend with the superhero theme, pulling more audiences to theatres. Meanwhile, Hridayapoorvam—though still performing decently—appears to be settling into a more steady run after its big holiday push. With Sunday and the festive weekend ahead, both films still have plenty of scope, but Lokah is now being seen as the frontrunner in this clash. After two days of the box office run, Lokah is leading at around 18 crores gross, against Hridayapoorvam, which has minted approximately 15 crores worldwide. The big question: will Lokah's superhero fever continue to rise through the weekend, or will Hridayapoorvam bounce back with family footfalls? Either way, this clash has turned the Onam season into one of the most exciting box office battles of the year. Stay tuned...

'Marco' Franchise To Continue With Bollywood Actor?

Kochi, July 1 - A couple of weeks after actor Unni Mukundan announced that he had dropped plans for a sequel to the action thriller Marco, the makers have now confirmed that the franchise will go on (with or without him). ## Cubes Entertainments, the production house behind Marco, clarified that they hold the complete rights to the franchise and intend to move forward, despite the actor's withdrawal. The clarification came in response to a fan comment urging the studio to either proceed with Marco 2 or transfer the rights to another banner. ## "Thank you for the overwhelming love and support for Marco. Discussions regarding the Marco series are still not over yet. Cubes Entertainment exclusively owns all rights to Marco, and we firmly believe the journey of Marco holds immense potential. Please note: We are not open to transferring or sharing the rights of this franchise,” the studio stated, as per a report by Onmanorama.com. ## Meanwhile, reports suggest that Marco 2 may be in development with a Bollywood actor stepping into the lead role, although no official confirmation has been made. Unni Mukundan, in a recent social media post, had expressed his decision to step away from the sequel due to the "negativity" surrounding the film's violent themes. ## Directed by Haneef Adeni, Marco was a major commercial success, grossing over ₹100 crore worldwide following its release in December 2024. The film had received an 'A' certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) due to its intense and gritty content. ## Stay tuned...

'Drishyam 3' To Have Same Story In All Versions

Kochi, June 23 - After the official announcement, director Jeethu Joseph has dropped a major update regarding Drishyam 3. There have been speculations that the Hindi version of this crime suspense thriller will be different, unlike the first two movies, which were remakes of the original Malayalam films. ## During a recent conversation with the Times of India, director Jeethu Joseph, who directed the first two Malayalam versions of Drishyam 3 and will return for the third instalment, said that the script of the upcoming film is nearing completion and contrary to the rumours, he confirmed the plot will be same in all versions. ## "There have been reports that the Hindi version will have a different story, but that's not true. The Hindi film will also be based on my story. Once I complete my script, it will be shared with the Hindi team, who will then adapt it to suit their setting and make suitable cultural changes", the filmmaker said. ## Both Hindi and Malayalam versions of Drishyam 3 will start rolling in October this year. There were rumours that the Malayalam movie would be released before the Hindi, but Jeethu Joseph hinted that both versions may have a simultaneous release. ## "There was a request from their side for a simultaneous release. So, we have been discussing the prospect of releasing the films simultaneously. In this OTT age, they feel that releasing on different dates might reduce the film's impact in other languages", he added. ## It is confirmed that Drishyam 3 Hindi will be directed by Abhishek Pathak and will see Ajay Devgn and the rest of the cast reprising their roles. The Malayalam version features superstar Mohanlal in the lead role alongside Meena, Ansiba Hassan, Esther Anil, Murali Gopy, and Asha Sharath. ## Stay tuned...

Unni Mukundan's 'Marco 2' Shelved

Kochi, June 15 - Actor Unni Mukundan's action thriller Marco proved to be one of the biggest blockbusters in the history of Malayalam cinema with the worldwide collection of over 100 crores. However, despite the big box office success, the movie also brought criticism for the actor. ## Marco attracted huge controversy and negativity for its violent nature, which many believe was below the belt and also put CBFC under scrutiny for passing the film. Despite all the noise surrounding the movie, it emerged as a huge box office success, leading the makers to announce Marco, with a promise that they would be extra careful in depicting the violence. ## There was a huge anticipation for the sequel among its targeted audience; however, in a surprising turn of events, Marco 2 has officially been dropped. Confirming the same, Unni Mukundan responded to a fan's comment on Instagram that the film has been shelved as there was too much negativity around it. ## "Apologies, but I have dropped plans to continue the Marco series. Too much negativity around the project. I'll try my best to bring something bigger and better than Marco. Thanks for all the love and positivity. Cheers", the actor said. ## Marco was directed by Haneef Adeni and produced by Cubes Entertainments. The plot follows Marco Jr (Unni), a ruthless gangster and the adopted son of the Adattu crime family, who goes on a bloody rampage after the brutal death of his blind foster brother Victor. ## Stay tuned...

Malayalam 'Drishyam 3' To Release Before Hindi Version?

Kochi, June 14 - Superstar Mohanlal and director Jeetu Joseph reunited for the crime suspense thriller, Drishyam 3, which was officially announced earlier this year without any release date or shooting timeline. It is among the most anticipated films, and the stakes are all-time high for the film. ## The Hindi version of Drishyam 3, headlined by Ajay Devgn, has also been announced for a confirmed release date of October 2, 2026. The film will be directed by Abhishek Pathak, with the rest of the cast also expected to return. It will go on the floors towards the end of this year. ## Drishyam 3 Hindi will reportedly be different from the Malayalam version, unlike the first two films, which were remakes of the Malayalam films. It was supposed to hit the big screen first among other versions; however, the latest reports suggest otherwise. ## Reportedly, Jeetu Joseph and Mohanlal will begin shooting for the third instalment of this celebrated franchise in September this year, and if this happens, then it will likely hit the big screen ahead of the Hindi version. ## While the early release of Drishyam 3 Malayalam may not be a concern for the Hindi version, as both are reportedly different, it may prove to be a big advantage for the former if the makers decide to release it in the dubbed Hindi version. ## There is undoubtedly huge anticipation among the Hindi audience for the movie, and the Malayalam makers must be aware of it. Earlier, there were reports that both Malayalam and Hindi will be shot simultaneously, but it is not looking like the case anymore. It needs to be seen how things unfold going forward. ## Stay tuned...
