Lokah: Chapter 1 – Chandra Box Office Collection Day 9
Lokah: Chapter 1 – Chandra posted another solid day at the box office on its ninth day in theatres, collecting about ₹7.75 crore (early estimate), which pushes its total India net to ₹62.45 crore. For a Malayalam-language science fiction film, reaching this milestone after just nine days is notable. These aren’t just arbitrary numbers—industry trackers, specifically Sacnilk, have provided this data and the wider coverage throughout its run reflects a real trend within the regional and national cinema space.
One detail that stands out: even with newer releases entering cinemas, Lokah’s drop rate has been moderate, not drastic. Audience engagement in the second weekend suggests more than just initial curiosity; it points to conversation-driven interest across multiplexes and single screens. The film’s footprint is visible in metro cities, suburban malls, and local centres that usually see quick audience turnover for regional fare.

This steady climb, especially a weekday and second Thursday pick-up, hints at the film’s word-of-mouth draw across various languages. The consistency also means the reporting is backed by reputable trade sources, so these figures are not inventions—they’re traceable to publicly available industry data.
Lokah: Chapter 1 – Chandra Day 8 Malayalam (2D) Occupancy
Looking at Friday’s occupancy details, the Malayalam (2D) version saw about 71.67% of available seats filled throughout the day. Attendance picked up sharply in the evening:
-
Morning: 39.08%
-
Afternoon: 72.34%
-
Evening: 91.35%
-
Night: 83.90%
These occupancy patterns are in line with what industry monitors typically report when a movie’s popularity is broad-based but also has prime-time surges. Instead of speculating about personal experiences, it’s clear that this kind of turnout signals collective audience enthusiasm—especially for a regional sci-fi title achieving multiplex-level fills beyond just opening weekend.
