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.

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...

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.
