Lokah Chapter 1 – Chandra starring Kalyani Priyadarshan has crossed Rs 257 crore globally, surpassing Manjummel Boys and Thudarum. The Dominic Arun film is now the second-highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time — but one blockbuster continues to hold the number one position.
Kalyani Priyadarshan’s recently released film, ‘Lokah Chapter 1 – Chandra’, has stormed the box office and surpassed the lifetime collections of films like ‘Thudarum’ and ‘Manjummel Boys’, emerging as the second-highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time. Directed by Dominic Arun, the film holds an impressive IMDb rating of 8.1.
According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the superhero action fantasy crossed the Rs 100 crore mark within just 21 days of its release across India. Despite this historic box office run, one film still holds its position as the number 1 highest-grossing Malayalam film ever.
