Lokah Chapter 1 box office collection day 3: Dominic Arun’s superhero film, Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, starring Kalyani Priyadarshan and Naslen in lead roles, was one of the big releases in theatres during Onam. The film received unanimous positive reviews upon release, with many saying it is better than big-budget pan-India releases like Brahmastra and Kalki 2898 AD. Despite tough competition from Mohanlal’s Onam release Hridayapoorvam, Lokah has so far emerged as the top choice for viewers.
