Kalyani Priyadarshan’s superhero film ‘Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra,’ which made it to the theatres last Friday, i.e., August 28, 2025, is enjoying a good run at the box office. Directed by Dominic Arun, the movie benefited from the weekend surge and, after that, has maintained a decent pace. Though the movie saw an expected drop on Monday, with its steady business on Tuesday, it has come closer to the Rs 40 crore mark.According to Sacnilk, the early estimates show that the movie added Rs. 7.35 crore on Tuesday to the total tally. With its 6th day’s earnings, the movie’s total collection during the first week stands at Rs. 38.95 crore.
