Malayalam cinema witnesses a box office shakeup as Dulquer Salmaan's production, 'Lokah: Chapter 1-Chandra,' achieves remarkable success. The film has surpassed Mohanlal's 'L2: Empuraan' and 'Thudarum,' becoming the second-highest-grossing Malayalam film with ₹122.05 crore in 19 days. While 'Lokah' eyes 'Manjummel Boys' record, it marks the beginning of a five-part cinematic universe, with future installments featuring Tovino Thomas and Mammootty.
