Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, starring Kalyani Priyadarshan and Naslen, is being praised as one of India’s finest superhero films. Unlike many big-budget spectacles that rely only on flashy visuals or mythology, this film combines grandeur with strong writing. Director Dominic Arun draws from Kerala’s folklore and socio-political history while weaving in a refreshing feminist perspective. The film’s magic lies not just in its fantasy setting but also in its emotional depth and intelligence. Malayalam cinema has long trained its audiences to expect quality storytelling, and Lokah continues that legacy by offering a superhero story with both spectacle and soul.
