'Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra' Continues Impressive Box Office Run

Kalyani Priyadarshan's superhero film 'Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra', directed by Dominic Arun, has been captivating audiences since its release on August 28, 2025. The film, which features India's first female superhero, has been on a strong run at the box office, crossing ₹60 crore in India and ₹123.50 crore worldwide in its first eight days.

From the very first day, 'Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra' showed signs of becoming a hit, with audiences eager to see the story of Chandra, a yakshi (vampire) summoned by Moothon, the leader of a superhero group. The film's impressive performance has continued into its second week, with day-wise collections reflecting steady growth.

The film's success has also caught the attention of Bollywood celebrities, who have been quick to share their praise. Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt, and Akshay Kumar have all expressed their excitement for the film, with Chopra calling it "India's first female superhero story" and Bhatt praising its "fresh blend of mythic folklore and mystery."

As 'Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra' eyes the ₹100 crore milestone, it faces stiff competition from new releases like 'Baaghi 4', 'The Bengal Files', and the Hollywood horror flick 'The Conjuring: Last Rites.' However, the film's strong performance and positive word-of-mouth suggest it is well-positioned to continue its impressive run at the box office.
