Lokah Chapter 1 box office collection

According to the trade website, Lokah made an estimated ₹6.65 crore net on Monday, taking its total domestic collections to ₹31.05 crore net in India. The slight dip is expected after a stellar weekend, given that it’s a weekday and collections are bound to slow down.

Lokah had an opening of ₹2.7 crore on Thursday, with the film making ₹4 crore on Friday. However, collections perked up during the weekend, bringing in ₹7.6 crore and ₹10.1 crore on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. Lokah made ₹65 crore worldwide in its first weekend and is expected to cross the ₹100 crore mark soon.

It remains to be seen how Lokah will sustain through the week as it faces competition from Mohanlal’s Hridayapoorvam.
