🌙 Lokah – Chapter One: Chandra (2025): The Dawn of a New Superhero in Malayalam Cinema ⚡🇮🇳

A moonlit legend is about to rise, and her name is Chandra. ✨From the visionary minds at Wayfarer Films and directed by Dominic Arun, Lokah – Chapter One: Chandra is not just another superhero movie — it's the beginning of a cinematic universe rooted in Indian culture, myth, and raw power. Releasing September 2025, this Malayalam-language blockbuster is set to change the landscape of Indian superhero cinema forever.

🦸‍♀️ A Heroine Like Never Before

For the first time in her career, the ever-graceful Kalyani Priyadarshan dons the cape — or shall we say, embraces her lunar destiny—as Chandra, a superhero whose journey is poised to be both cosmic and deeply personal.

Backed by a ₹150 crore budget and an ambitious vision, Lokah aims to weave action, myth, and emotional drama into one unforgettable origin story.

“The moon doesn't rise to conquer. It rises to illuminate the darkness.”— Chandra, rising not just as a hero, but as a force of light.

🌌 What Is Lokah About?

Set in a richly imagined version of Kerala, Lokah – Chapter One: Chandra introduces us to a young woman with a mysterious connection to celestial power. As darkness looms and ancient energies stir, Chandra must discover the strength hidden within — and rise as the protector of her people.

Expect a narrative filled with:

• 🌔 Mythical symbolism

• 💥 Groundbreaking visual effects

• 🧬 Emotional family drama

• 🕊️ Cultural richness and identity

The story balances grandeur with grounded characters, making it not just a superhero spectacle but a human story of becoming.

🎭 Stellar Cast, Legendary Cameos

The film features a powerful ensemble including:

• Naslen in a pivotal role

• Nishanth Sagar, Raghunath Paleri, Chandu Salimkumar, Arun Kurian, Vijayaraghavan, Nithya Shri, and Sarath Sabha

And to sweeten the deal, there are special appearances by Dulquer Salmaan and Tovino Thomas, hinting at a much larger Lokah Universe in the making. Could we see a future team-up with Minnal Murali? 👀
