About Lokah
Lokah Chapter 1 is billed as the first instalment in Dulquer Salmaan’s planned Wayfarer Cinematic Universe. It stars Kalyani as Chandra, a young woman who has just moved to Bengaluru after living in Sweden for 20 years. She comes out mostly during the evenings, which intrigues Sunny (Naslen) and Venu (Chandu Salimkumar), two young boys who live across the street. How the two come to know about Chandra’s backstory makes up the premise. The film’s strong writing, action sequences and VFX have drawn massive positive word-of-mouth on social media.
Lokah is written by Dominic Arun and Santhy Balachandran and directed by Dominic Arun. Jakes Bejoy composed the music, while Nimish Ravi handled the cinematography. Tovino Thomas and Dulquer Salmaan also have cameo appearances in the film, which has raised excitement among fans about the later instalments.
