Lokah Chapter 1 Budget
Lokah Chapter 1 is praised for its bold narrative and scope. As Chandra, a lady who finds her incredible powers and turns into a ray of hope in a broken world, Kalyani Priyadarshan plays the important role in the movie. For a movie that was produced on a very small budget of about Rs 30 crore, the 200 crore+ gross is an incredible accomplishment.
Actor-producer Dulquer Salmaan, who also has a brief cameo in the movie, backed Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra. While the Malayalam movie continues to do well in Australia and Germany, it is also being welcomed in other countries like Malaysia and Singapore.
