Lokah Chapter One: Chandra Malayalam Movie
Extraordinary events unfold when an aimless trio of friends encounter their new neighbour - a mysterious young woman with a haunting past. A darkly comic fantasy thriller set in a modern-day metropolitan city, this is the first instalment of a franchise that introduces a shadow world that exists alongside our own. Starring Kalyani Priyadarshan, Naslen, Chandu, Arun Kurian and Sandy in pivotal roles, Lokah promises an entertaining ride this festive season!
Lokah Chapter One: Chandra has largely been received as a bold and ambitious attempt at creating a homegrown superhero universe rooted in Kerala folklore. Critics praised its visual spectacle, technical brilliance, and unique cultural grounding, with Kalyani Priyadarshan’s performance standing out as a fiery and commanding presence. The film’s folklore-inspired storytelling and inventive reimagination of myth were noted as refreshing, while its humor and entertainment value added to the appeal. At the same time, some felt that uneven character development, reliance on clichés, and a predictable screenplay held it back from being truly groundbreaking.
Verdict:
A visually striking, culturally rooted, and daring origin story, Lokah Chapter One: Chandra succeeds as an entertaining and promising start to a new superhero universe, even if its narrative flaws keep it from soaring to its highest potential.
