Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra OTT Release Expected This Diwali 2025

Kalyani Priyadarshan’s latest film, Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, has set an unprecedented milestone at the Malayalam box office. Directed by Dominic Arun and produced by Dulquer Salmaan under the banner of Wayfarer Films, the female-led superhero drama has become the highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time. Its combination of innovative visuals, engaging narrative, and fresh take on the superhero genre has resonated with audiences nationwide.

According to Sacnilk.com, Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra has collected a total of Rs 152.96 crore across all language versions. The Malayalam version alone contributed Rs 119.46 crore, surpassing previous top performers such as Mohanlal’s Thudarum and L2: Empuraan. The film’s commercial success is particularly notable given its female-led narrative in a genre traditionally dominated by male heroes.

Fans will soon have the opportunity to watch the film from home. Reports from 123Telugu indicate that Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra is expected to debut on JioHotstar starting Oct. 20, 2025, as part of the Diwali festive lineup. While the production team has not officially confirmed the release date, anticipation is high among viewers eager to revisit the story on digital platforms.

The film’s ensemble cast includes Kalyani Priyadarshan, Naslen, Mammootty, Tovino Thomas, Sandy Master, and Sunny Wayne. The musical score, composed by Jakes Bejoy, complements the narrative and has received praise for enhancing the emotional resonance of the film.

Following the blockbuster reception, the makers have officially announced Lokah Chapter 2. A teaser and first-look poster released online have generated significant excitement. The sequel will feature Tovino Thomas in a leading role, with Dulquer Salmaan joining the cast to expand the growing Malayalam superhero universe.
