Robust word of mouth lifts the female-led superhero launch, with trackers reporting higher occupancy and ticket sales than its rival.

Overview

  • Lokah collected Rs 3.75 crore in India on Day 2 for a two-day total of about Rs 6.45 crore, ahead of Hridayapoorvam’s Rs 2.70 crore Day 2 and Rs 5.95 crore two-day tally, per Sacnilk.
  • Malayalam-language occupancy on Friday was reported at 60.38% for Lokah versus 28.84% for Hridayapoorvam.
  • BookMyShow data shows roughly 276,000 Day 2 tickets for Lokah against about 107,000 for Hridayapoorvam, a 157% lead for Lokah.
  • Worldwide estimates diverge, with Koimoi placing Lokah’s two-day gross at around Rs 11.11 crore and Pinkvilla citing about Rs 18.65 crore, reflecting early-tracker variance.
  • Produced by Dulquer Salmaan’s Wayfarer Films and framed as the launch of a Malayalam superhero universe on a reported Rs 30 crore budget, the Onam release is tracking for a strong extended weekend.
