Lokah: Chapter 1 - Chandra Box Office Collection Day 5
According to sacnilk, Lokah: Chapter 1 – Chandra didn’t just survive its first Monday—Day 5—it pulled in a healthy ₹6.65 crore net in India, pushing the domestic total to a formidable ₹31.05 crore. Most films fade fast after a blockbuster weekend, but Chandra seems to be coasting on strong word-of-mouth and superhero-fueled curiosity, showing that positive chatter really can fill theater seats on a workday.
Let’s jump right to it: Lokah: Chapter 1’s day 5 collection—despite being a Monday—was ₹6.65 crore across India, according to early trade numbers. For context, even the most die-hard fans (and those who just wanted AC comfort from the September heat) turned out in respectable numbers. The drop from Sunday’s high was noticeable, but after a ₹10 crore surge over the weekend, a dip was all but expected. What’s impressive here isn’t just the number, but the resilience—many Malayalam films see sharper falls after deep festival weekends, but Chandra’s genre-bending style seems to be keeping curiosity high.
Friendly warning to anyone reading mid-commute: be prepared for spoilers in line at the ticket counter! A few friends who went Monday night said their auditorium was still over half full, and the mood inside seemed more “Marvel closing credits” than “Monday blues.” There’s a bit of a party-with-popcorn vibe.

Launch day, Thursday: A modest start, but almost entirely from Malayalam audiences.
-
Friday: Nearly 50% jump, Telugu dubs start making a small but notable dent.
-
Saturday and Sunday? Weekend fever! Huge spikes, with Tamil screenings finally gaining traction—some smaller towns reportedly had sold-out shows for the dub.
-
Monday: The much-feared post-weekend dip brought a 34% drop, but let’s be honest, any movie not totally cratering on a Monday earns its stripes.
A personal note: a regular movie-going uncle from Thiruvananthapuram swears the “early week crowd” used to predict a film’s fate—even sent me a selfie with a group of college kids (and an empty popcorn tub). “They’re in here for the film, not the air conditioning,” he told me, half-joking.
Lokah: Chapter 1 - Chandra Box Office Collection Day 5 Malayalam (2D) Occupancy in Theaters
Here’s where the nerdy numbers get fun—Monday Malayalam occupancy. It felt like the real fans punched in their Chandra timecard. Morning shows started with a modest 44.02% occupancy (not too shabby for a Monday). The vibe picked up through the afternoon at 47.07%, hit a livelier 50.26% in the evening, and ended on a strong note with 59.43% at the night shows.
The trend? Fewer office-goers are skipping work, and more folks are grabbing late seats after finishing that last spreadsheet or dosa. In little corners of Kerala, you could overhear schoolboys arguing about whether Chandra would win against any “Marvel hero”. At the night show I heard about, someone’s granddad finally caved and saw it—and apparently came out humming the theme tune.
-
Morning: 44.02%
-
Afternoon: 47.07%
-
Evening: 50.26%
-
Night: 59.43%
That Monday-night boost is a warm little sign: when your movie draws bigger crowds late on a weekday, it means word-of-mouth is working harder than any ad.
