A powerful second weekend surge for 'Lokah'

Even the Telugu version maintained a healthy 52.37% overall occupancy which is a promising sign for a Malayalam-led multilingual project.

Headlined by Kalyani Priyadarshan, the film also stars Naslen K. Gafoor, Sandy Master, Arun Kurian, and Vijayaraghavan in pivotal roles. The box office collections of the Kalyani Priyadarshan are expected to soar in the coming days as the occupancy rates and the audience's interests are still high even after 11 days. Majority of the theatres are fully booked even on working day, which is surely a positive sign.
