Lokah Chapter 1 Chandra X review

Headlined by Kalyani Priyadarshan and Naslen, the Malayalam superhero film Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra has been released in cinemas on August 28 on the occasion of Onam. The movie is directed by Dominic Arun and produced by pan-India star Dulquer Salmaan under his banner Wayfarer Films. Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra is set to start off a superhero cinematic universe in Malayalam cinema.

The Kalyani Priyadarshan and Naslen-starrer has been receiving rave reviews from the audiences, who have shared their opinions on X after watching the film on its first day of release. One X user wrote, “Lokah is a must-watch on the big screen! Don’t wait for anyone book your tickets now. We’ve just entered a brand-new superhero universe, and Lokah stands tall as Mollywood’s strongest Pan-Indian bet! Stay till the very end-both the post-credit and credit scenes are unmissable.”

Another tweet read, “#Lokah A good first half followed by a terrific second half. Dominic Arun brings alive an imaginative and ambitious universe that blends entertainment with heroism beautifully. Top-notch making. Kalyani is kickass. Naslen, Sandy and the cameos.”

“#Lokah 1st half is purely world building & a mystery journey for the audience, from the flashback portions the movie turns into a packed experience. 2nd half, no words.Lots of high moments, cameos, action blocks, etc. Dominic, Nimish, Jakes, DQ — take a bow. 4.5/5”, wrote another viewer.

A netizen also requested Dulquer Salmaan to promote the film outside Kerala and make it a pan-India success as they wrote, “@DQsWayfarerFilm I am begging you please please promote lokah in other states. The movie has huge huge potential to be a big pan Indian success. The genre itself is a star everywhere and the movie is too good for not to be a pan Indian success. Make it happen please.”

Apart from Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, two other Malayalam films have hit theatres as Onam releases. While Mohanlal and Malavika Mohanan-starrer Hridayapoorvam has released on August 28, Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira starring Fahadh Faasil and Kalyani Priyadarshan will hit theatres on August 29.
