Bolstered by strong word of mouth, Lokah Chapter 1 had a great day overseas too, crossing the ₹80 crore mark with ease.

Lokah Chapter 1 worldwide box office update

As of Monday, Lokah Chapter 1 has earned ₹31.05 net ( ₹36.20 crore gross) in India. This includes a very healthy ₹6.65 crore net on Monday, a mere 35% drop from its Sunday collection of ₹10.10 crore.

Overseas, the film has crossed $5 million. Estimates say its current collection in the foreign markets is around ₹45 crore, due to exceedingly good turnout in the Middle East and North America. This takes the film's worldwide haul to ₹81 crore in just five days. This has made Lokah Chapter 1 enter the top 20 highest-grossing Malayalam films ever. It is now racing towards the ₹100-crore mark, which it should cross by Wednesday.

With its ₹15-crore haul worldwide on Monday, Lokah Chapter 1 climbed six spots in the list of highest-grossing Malayalam films, surpassing the lifetime collection of hits like Naslen's Alappuzha Gymkhana ( ₹68 crore), Soubin Shahir's Romancham ( ₹70 crore), Mammootty's Turbo ( ₹73 crore), and Nivin Pauly-Sai Pallavi's all-time blockbuster Premam ( ₹73 crore).
