Dulquer Salmaan’s production Lokah, which was released in theatres this Onam, has created box office history. Despite clashing with Mohanlal’s Hridayapoorvam and Fahadh Faasil’s Odum Kuthira Chadum Kuthira, the film enjoyed a phenomenal theatrical run, breaking records along the way. Now, over a month after its release, it has officially become the highest-grossing film in Kerala.

Lokah beats box office records

In just 39 days, Lokah, headlined by Kalyani Priyadarshan and Naslen, earned Rs 118.94 crore at the Kerala box office alone. Before Lokah, the record was held by Mohanlal’s Thudarum, which was released in April 2025 and collected Rs 118 crore in the state. Earlier, Manjummel Boys held the record for the highest-grossing Malayalam film in India, while Empuraan held the top spot globally. Now, Lokah, directed by Dominic Arun, has surpassed all three.
