Lokah Chapter 1 vs Hridayapoorvam Box Office: With a favourable reception, Lokah Chapter 1 - Chandra was released in theaters on August 28th, 2025. Kalyani Priyadarshan and Naslen play the main parts in the Dulquer Salmaan-produced movie. With important roles played by Mohanlal, Malavika Mohanan, Sangeeth Prathap, and Sangita Madhavan Nair, Hridayapoorvam was under fire from Lokah: Chapter 1. Although it got off to a respectable start, Mohanlal's Malayalam film didn't really take off and ended up doing far worse than anticipated at the Indian box office.

Lokah Chapter 1 stars Naslen and Kalyani Priyadarshan in the lead parts. As per sacnilk report, the Malayalam movie's total domestic collections in India reached Rs 31.05 crore net with an expected net revenue of Rs 6.65 crore on Monday. Given that it's a weekday and collections will inevitably slow down, the little decline is anticipated following an incredible weekend. The Malayalam film made Rs 4 crore on Friday after launching at Rs 2.7 crore on Thursday. But over the weekend, collections picked up steam, earning Rs 7.6 crore on Saturday and Rs 10.1 crore on Sunday.

Lokah Chapter 1 would soon surpass the Rs 100 crore milestone, having earned Rs 65 crore globally in its first weekend. The Malayalam superhero film examines aspects of Indian legend in terms of a modern superhero. The first chapter of Lokah concludes by laying the groundwork for a follow-up that will examine a different superhero.

What Is Hridayapoorvam's Budget?

According to reports, Hridayapoorvam was produced with a 30 crore budget. The Malayalam comedy drama has profited from a high level of initial interest as a result of Onam celebrations increasing theater attendance. Given competition from Lokah Chapter 1, the upcoming weekdays will be critical in deciding the movie's long-term box office performance.

When mayhem breaks out, the engagement is called off, forcing Sandeep and his attendant Jerry (Sangeeth Prathap) to remain at Haritha's house. Sandeep grows to like Haritha and her mother Devika (Sangita Madhavan Nair) as the days go by. What takes place in their lives while Sandeep is there for a long time?
