Send Push
Kalyani Priyadarshan’s latest Malayalam superhero film, Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, has been enjoying a strong theatrical run since its release on August 28, 2025. Directed by Dominic Arun and produced by Dulquer Salmaan under Wayfarer Films, the movie has received positive responses from audiences in Malayalam-speaking regions and beyond. Alongside Kalyani, the film features Naslen in a leading role, with supporting appearances by Sandy Master, Tovino Thomas, Sunny Wayne, and Dulquer Salmaan himself.

The film has been noted for its impressive visual effects, compelling narrative, and a blend of traditional Malayalam storytelling with superhero elements. Industry observers highlight that the film’s sustained performance beyond its opening weekend, including weekdays, has given the team confidence to expand the project’s reach.

Lokah OTT Release

Following the successful theatrical run, fans are eager to know when they can stream Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra at home. Multiple media reports suggest that the streaming rights have been acquired by Netflix, although neither the film team nor the platform has officially confirmed this.

According to industry sources cited by OneIndia, the film could make its digital debut during the last week of September, with September 26, 2025, being widely speculated as the likely date. The digital release is expected to include multiple language options, such as Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Kannada, to reach a broader audience.

The Lokah team has also announced plans to release the film in Hindi, though the exact date remains unconfirmed. If successful, the Hindi version could open new avenues for the movie at the national box office, continuing Malayalam cinema’s trend of breaking linguistic barriers.

Dulquer Salmaan’s production credentials, combined with Dominic Arun’s direction, have positioned Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra as a promising regional superhero project. The film’s narrative focuses on Chandra, a young woman who discovers supernatural abilities while navigating personal challenges and confronting social injustices. The story also involves interactions with a group of young men and a corrupt police officer, adding layers to the superhero framework.

Malayalam Films on Netflix

Netflix currently streams a limited selection of Malayalam films, including Kunchacko Boban’s Officer on Duty and Dhyan Sreenivasan-led Detective Ujjwalan. Dulquer Salmaan’s previous projects, such as Kurup and the Telugu film Lucky Baskhar, are also available on the platform, reinforcing speculation about Lokah joining the streaming lineup.
