So, Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra! What a ride, amirite? The movie starring Kalyani Priyadarshan is, like, this huge, surprise hit. It came out on August 28th, just in time for Onam, which is a pretty smart move. It's a Malayalam film, but it's doing so well they're even releasing a Hindi version on September 4th! That's how you know a movie is doing great, when they expand to other languages and stuff. Dulquer Salmaan, the producer, is probably super happy. I heard he has some kind of cinematic universe planned, which is so cool!

Okay, so let's get to the important part, the money! The day 6 collection. This is where it gets a little messy and all over the place, 'cause everyone has slightly different numbers. It's like, you know, when your friends are all telling you the same story but with different details.
According to one report from Hindustan Times, the film brought in an estimated ₹7.77 crore on day 6. That's a good chunk of change! They said the total domestic collection is now a whopping ₹39.37 crore. Like, that's almost ₹40 crore, which is a big number!
But then, I saw a different report from HerZindagi, which had a much lower number for Day 6. They said it was only about ₹0.41 crore. Wait, that can't be right. That's a tiny number compared to the day before! Maybe that's just an early morning collection? Or maybe a huge typo? See, this is what I mean about things getting confusing. But they still say the total collection is around ₹31.46 crore. So, one number is super high, another is really low for the day, but the total is kind of similar... well, not really. Ugh.
Let's check another source to be sure. Okay, so Filmibeat and The Indian Express are saying the film collected about ₹7.2 crore on Monday (day 5), which is a nice, strong hold after the big weekend. And the total is around ₹31.6 crore, which is a little more than the HerZindagi number, but still a ways from the first one I saw.
So, let's try to put this together. The movie had a slow start on day 1 with ₹2.7 crore, then it picked up a lot on Friday (₹4 crore), Saturday (₹7.6 crore), and Sunday (₹10.1 crore). The weekend was massive, like, the collections just kept going up and up. The Monday number (day 5) was a strong ₹6.65 crore or maybe even ₹7.2 crore depending on who you listen to. It showed that the movie has great word-of-mouth.
For day 6, the number is a bit all over the place. Let's just go with the general consensus that the movie is holding up really well and continues to make good money. The Week even said it was poised to cross the ₹100 crore mark soon! The domestic total is somewhere in the high ₹30s, and the worldwide total is already over ₹80 crore.
So, yeah, Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra is a bonafide hit. It’s beating out other movies that came out at the same time, like the Mohanlal starrer Hridayapoorvam. I guess this just goes to show you don't need a huge, established superstar to have a box office smash. Great story, good buzz, and a superheroine kicking butt is all you need! My brain is a little fried from all these numbers, but you get the picture. The film is doing super well!
