The Making is the True Hero
- 'Lokah Chapter One : Chandra' directed by Dominic Arun and written by himself and Santhy Balachandran starring Kalyani Priyadarshan and Naslen is a really well made superhero film with excellent world-building, great screenplay and lovable characters.
More than anything, the making of the film is the true hero, considering the budget the visuals are top notch, the action sequences are very well shot, the editing is smooth, the cinematography is stunning with beautiful frames throughout and is well directed.
The cast of the film was superb with everyone delivering a great performance, Kalyani made the character Chandra believable through her potrayal. Naslen and his friends especially Chandu Salimkumar and Arun Kurian brought relatability and humour to the film. The film is filled with cameos setting up a larger cinematic universe with post credit scenes aswell.
Overall, it is a must watch in theatres and a successful attempt at the superhero genre.
