Kotha Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra has created a stir in Indian films, especially Malayalam cinema. The film, written and directed by Dominic Arun, provides an entertaining and new superhero story with Kalyani Priyadarshan in the lead and Naslen in a key supporting was to impress audiences.
The major unique factor, however, is Kalyani Priyadarshan’s performance as Chandra, the first-ever female superhero in Indian cinema. The character of Chandra not only breaks the male glorifying superhero mold, but also opens up new areas for women-centric narrative and storytelling in Indian cinema.
The success of the movie has been monumental, going past 300 crore in box office collections, a first in the history of a Malayalam superhero movie. The success has cemented Kotha Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra as an industry success, and Kalyani Priyadarshan became the first actress to lead such a record success in the South.
Produced by Dulquer Salmaan, the film’s huge box-office draw has opened the door for subsequent chapters in the Kotha Lokah franchise, fueling expectations for what’s in store next.
