The Malayalam film Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra started off with a slow pace at the box office, but quickly gained momentum. With increasing word-of-mouth buzz, especially among the youth, the film managed to collect impressive figures in its very first week.
A Modest Opening on a Weekday, Followed by a Strong Surge
This science-fiction suspense thriller was released a day earlier than the typical Friday release, hitting theatres on a Thursday.

However, just a few shows into its run, strong youth interest began to emerge, giving the film a major boost in collections.

On its first day (Thursday), the film collected ₹2.7 crores. On Friday, the earnings rose to ₹4 crores. Saturday saw a significant jump, with ₹7.6 crores, and Sunday brought in a solid ₹10.1 crores, benefitting from the weekend holiday crowd. The momentum continued into the following weekdays, with ₹7.2 crores on Monday and ₹3.7 crores on Tuesday. This brought the film’s total six-day box office collection to ₹34 crores.
A Success Without Big Stars
One of the film’s most notable achievements is its success despite the absence of major star power. The film has connected well with audiences due to its strong storyline, engaging suspense, and refreshing take on science fiction. Though it’s a regional film originally made in Malayalam, it was also dubbed in Tamil and Telugu, expanding its reach.
