- BookMyShow data cited by box-office reports shows roughly 276,000 tickets for Lokah on day two versus about 107,000 for Mohanlal’s Hridayapoorvam, indicating a clear lead in audience pull.

- Overseas interest is strong, with UK exhibitors expanding screens from around 100 to nearly 150 within two days and early UK/Ireland receipts flagged as notable for a Malayalam release.
- Produced by Dulquer Salmaan’s Wayfarer Films as the first entry in a planned universe, the film is tracking budget recovery quickly on a reported ₹30 crore spend, with estimates pegging 21.5% recovered in 48 hours and higher by day three, while Hridayapoorvam remains commercially solid with about ₹15.8–16 crore worldwide through two days.
