One reviewer described the film as a “big screen spectacle”, stating:
“#Lokah is Mollywood’s strongest Pan-Indian bet. Supported by technical finesse, impactful star cameos, and action set pieces that resemble multiple Minnal Murali climaxes combined, this is a true big screen spectacle.”
Another viewer drew parallels with Tovino Thomas’ 2021 hit, noting:
“#Lokah – After #MinnalMurali, Mollywood has delivered another strong superhero film. The interval, cameos from several Mollywood stars, and an impactful post-credit scene mark a superb beginning for a Malayalam superhero cinematic universe.”
A third comment praised the film as one of the finest theatrical outings in recent times:
“One of the best theatrical experiences in recent memory. An impressive superhero film with a female protagonist. Highly recommended!”
One X user lauded director Dominic Arun for his vision, writing:
“If you’re truly interested in superhero movies, this one delivers with both action and entertainment. Dominic Arun’s superhero vision blends culture, depth, and creativity into a remarkable cinematic experience. Every cameo gives pure goosebumps.”
Another user urged producer Dulquer Salmaan to expand the film’s reach beyond Kerala, stating:
“@DQsWayfarerFilm I’m begging you, please promote Lokah in other states as well. The movie has immense potential to be a major pan-Indian success. The genre itself appeals everywhere, and the film is far too good to remain limited. Make it happen, please.”
First half of #LokahChapter1 is pure gold! ✨ Stunning visuals, amazing BGM, and that interval twist had me hooked 💥 Hoping the second half keeps the momentum going! #Lokah#Lokah pic.twitter.com/oZ4hmS5FIO

Lokah Chapter 1 draws mixed reactions
While Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra received praise for its action and cameos, not all viewers were equally impressed. Some felt the film lacked strong writing and depth.
One X user commented:
“I am not entirely satisfied with #Lokah on the writing level, as many plotlines begin but fail to find proper culmination. This is a recurring issue with franchises that focus mainly on introducing the world and lead character in the first installment.”
Another viewer felt the simplicity worked against the film, writing:

“#Lokah – The story didn’t excite me much because it remained too simple without attempting complexity. It didn’t give me that wow factor. The aspect ratio also disappointed me.”
Despite these criticisms, both agreed that the performances of the lead actors and the star-studded cameos were noteworthy.
Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra released in theatres on 28 August, clashing with Mammootty’s Hridayapoorvam.
