Dulquer Salmaan backed and headlined by Kalyani Priyadarshan and Naslen Lokah: Chapter 1- Chandra continued its brilliant theatrical run even in the third week. The film showcased a slowdown , one expects that but the film dropped only 42 % which is a major achievement.

On its third Friday, Lokah began on a steady note with Rs 4.05 crore , on Saturday picked up by over 70 % where it collected Rs 6.65 crore and on Sunday the numbers jumped to Rs 7 crore. However Monday onwards the film began hitting the downward with collections dropping from Rs 2.75 crore on Monday to Rs 2.65 crore on Tuesday to Rs 2.15 crore on Wednesday to Rs 1.85 crore on Thursday as per Sacnilk. The trend suggests that though the collections are dropping, they are dropping at a very slow rate.

Overall the film has collected Rs 27.1 crore from the third week taking the overall collection of the film to Rs 128.80 crore. With that the film even one step close to displace Ram Charan’s Game Changer as 11th highest grossing film of 2025. The S Shankar directorial had minted Rs 131.2 crore from it’s lifetime run and with weekend coming in Neeli from Kalliyankattu will get one more opportunity to set new box office records. It has already become the highest grossing female led film from South of India beating Keerthy Suresh’s Mahanati.

Lokah is the part of the 5 part series actor-producer Dulquer Salmaan has put together to form the first ‘Universe’ of Malayalam Cinema. The second installment of the film would be featuring Tovino Thomas- he played a cameo role in the first part. The third part would be headlined by Dulquer Salmaan and fourth would have Mammootty playing the lead and all of them coming together for the 5th part.
