Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra

I just finished watching Lokah, and honestly, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. It is rare to come across a movie that keeps you hooked from the very first frame till the end credits, but this one absolutely did that. The film was not only entertaining, but it also managed to give a sense of scale and excitement that I have hardly seen in Malayalam cinema before.

The cinematography is one of the biggest highlights. Every frame feels rich, detailed, and thoughtfully crafted. It makes you want to pause and just take in the visuals. The music is another strong point, it builds tension when required, gives goosebumps in the right places, and adds so much to the overall energy of the film. Together, the visuals and sound carry the audience on a thrilling ride.

The cameos deserve a special mention. They were surprising, powerful, and had the whole theatre buzzing. It was one of those moments that makes you cheer as a fan, and it was handled perfectly without feeling forced.

The villain is also extremely well-written and acted. A strong villain is what makes a hero shine brighter, and Lokah gets that balance spot on. The presence, dialogue, and performance all left a lasting impression.

More than anything, what stood out to me was how ambitious this film felt. It is not just another movie, it feels like a milestone. The scale, the creativity, and the way it has been put together really push the Malayalam film industry to another level. It shows what is possible when vision and execution come together so well.

Overall, Lokah is a must-watch. It is thrilling, grand, and incredibly entertaining. For me, this is "levels."

Rating - 3.75/5

A fantasy action adventure thriller showing the battle within the darker sides of the world and their thirst for power.

The story takes us through the lives of 3 urban junkies stalking a mysterious girl who moved nextdoor and the strange events that unfolds in their life when they closely follow her forms the base of the story.

Dominic Arun & Santhy Balachandran has created a new adventurous doorway to Malayalam Cinema through this movie. Hats off to Dominic Arun who showed the patience and grit to wait so long for bringing a phenomenal cinema to Malayalam. Good screenplay laying backdrop for the story to settle in the first half but slips midway and gains momentum towards the latter half with insane action sequences. Some cameo appearances passed through the screen showing no clue of their presence which might hopefully fill the dots in the upcoming sagas.

Mind-blowing performance by Kalyani Priyadarshan,the way she has carried Chandra is dashing, the way she holds her eyes, the attitude, absolutely brilliant performance. Kudos to the Costumers Melwy, Archana and the Makeup team for bringing the ferocious Chandra onto the Big screen. Impressive performances from Naslen, Arun Kurian & special shoutout to Chandu Salim kumar who just lived the character brilliantly with the timely dialogues and facial gestures reminding of his father's epic performances. Startling performance by Sandy with his impressive dialogue delivery modulation & attitude. Good performance from Vijayaraghavan, Sarath Sabha, Sam Mohan & Nishant Sagar.

Outstanding frames by Nimish Ravi creating a visual fantasy world by using the precise lens and lighting effortlessly finetuned by the young editor Chaman Chakko. Incredible background scores by Jakes that stands throughout the movie supported with good sound design by Dawn Vincent/Rajakrishnan. Good settings by Vinesh Banglan & Jithu Sebastian that sustained the mood of the urbanscape and the dark world. Hats off to Yannick Ben & team for the exceptional action sequences. Big hugs to DQ & Wayfarer Films for backing this vision and pulling it off in a technically superior quality.

A must watch experience in cinema hall to witness a new world just reminding us that it's just a peak above the ocean.

Extraordinary movie making Unique storyline Excellent Direction Excellent 📷 work Good acting from all especially Neslen and Kalyani.

Overall Lokah stands out as an unprecedented cinematic journey from Malayalam cinema industry, leaving a lasting impact that will be remembered for years to come.

Must watch movie in theatre.
