Lokah: Chapter 1 Box Office Collection Day 12
On its twelfth day, Lokah: Chapter 1 – Chandra pulled in an estimated ₹5.75 crore at the Indian box office, with the total of ₹ 88.25 Cr by sacnilk, still running strong even as the weekday slowdown loomed. For a sci-fi film in its second week, that’s nothing to brush aside; if anything, it’s a reminder that this movie is less “flash in the pan” and more “slow-burn audience magnet.” People are still showing up. There’s that hum in the theaters: not every seat taken, but still more than enough to feel like something meaningful is unfolding on those big screens.
Tuesday afternoon, I caught a group of friends outside a Kochi multiplex comparing theories. One guy was convinced the spaceship set was a real decommissioned piece from some ISRO program. Maybe not, but the whispering and that sense of inside knowledge? Priceless. The kind of movie talk that lingers.
Lokah: Chapter 1 Box Office Day Wise
Day by day, Lokah’s box office chart reads less like a rollercoaster and more like a heartbeat: beats rise and fall, but the line keeps pulsing higher. There are dips, but even those feel earned. Nobody expects a sci-fi to do superhero numbers, and yet, here’s Lokah quietly outpacing big summer actioners. The film’s India net stands at a hefty ₹88.25 crore after 12 days, with Malayalam showings alone accounting for the lion’s share.
Here’s how things stacked up, in broad, snackable strokes:
| Day | India Net Collection | Change (+/-) |
|---|---|---|
| Thu (Day 1) | ₹2.7 Cr | – |
| Fri (Day 2) | ₹4 Cr | +48% |
| Sat (Day 3) | ₹7.6 Cr | +90% |
| Sun (Day 4) | ₹10.1 Cr | +33% |
| Mon (Day 5) | ₹7.2 Cr | -29% |
| Tue (Day 6) | ₹7.65 Cr | +6% |
| Wed (Day 7) | ₹7.1 Cr | -7% |
| Thu (Day 8) | ₹8.35 Cr | +17% |
| Fri (Day 9) | ₹7.65 Cr | -8% |
| Sat (Day 10) | ₹10 Cr | +31% |
| Sun (Day 11) | ₹10.15 Cr | +2% |
| Mon (Day 12) | ₹5.75 Cr* | – |
| Total | ₹88.25 Cr |
There’s a rhythm to it. Weekends are the obvious spikes for families, fan groups, and teenagers posting those “ticket in hand” stories. But the weekdays? That’s where the movie earns its stripes. You do see collections dip each Monday, just like Mumbai’s traffic dips for Ganesh Visarjan, but the bounce-back has been nearly poetic with Lokah. By now, even the ushers have their favorite plot twist.
Lokah: Chapter 1 Chandra Day 12 Malayalam (2D) Occupancy
Day 12’s Malayalam (2D) occupancy settled at a comfortable 61.3% a number that looks even better when you remember this isn’t a festival release week. Take a glance at the breakdown:
-
Morning Shows: 43.05%
-
Afternoon Shows: 59.16%
-
Evening Shows: 70.66%
-
Night Shows: 72.32%
Morning was easygoing (maybe half the crowd sipping coffee “for the science bits”). By evening, though, the momentum builds: a wave of office-goers, students using “group study” as an excuse, and a couple next to me whispering plot predictions like they were spoilers for some big finale. If you’ve ever seen a grandma nudge her grandson when the plot thickens, you’ll get the vibe.
This isn’t just numbers, it’s the feeling of a community show: first-timers, returning fans, skeptics, all sitting in the dark together. On a quiet Monday night, Lokah still got laughs in the lobby and post-show debates in the parking lot. If that’s not success for a regional, genre-bending film, what is?
