The movie Lokah: Chapter 1 – Chandra starring Dulquer Salmaan and Kalyani Priyadarshan has overtaken Mohanlal’s L2: Empuraan to become the second highest-earning Malayalam film in the Hindi market. This milestone reflects the growing appeal of Malayalam cinema beyond its traditional audience base.
This achievement adds yet another feat for Lokah, which has been riding strong box office numbers across India and overseas. The film’s success in the Hindi language segment underscores a rising trend: regional films are now drawing fans from a variety of linguistic and cultural backgrounds throughout the country.
For Dulquer, Kalyani, and the team behind Lokah, this is not just about crossing numbers. It marks a moment where storytelling, strong visuals, and fresh themes are resonating widely—helping Malayalam films step more confidently into the national spotlight.
