Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra (2025)
Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra is streaming in India on JioHotstar.
The verdict
Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra holds up as a perfectly decent Malayalam film, if not a remarkable one. It's sitting at 7.3/10 on TMDB across 69 ratings, which puts it comfortably above average. Budget a full evening — it runs a hefty 151 minutes. In India you can stream it on JioHotstar.
Should you spend 2h 31m on it?
2h 31m of Malayalam action, leaning adventure, not one for younger kids. Long enough that it wants your full attention rather than a second screen.
Don't watch this if…

- Why

- Best for
- An evening with no interruptions
Story
The story follows Chandra, a mysterious, goth-influenced woman who has just moved to Bangalore and begins working night shifts at a café. Across the road from her apartment live Sunny and Venu, two aimless bachelors. Sunny becomes infatuated with Chandra, observing her odd routines, strange visitors, and reclusive nature. Their dynamic changes when Sunny gets a glimpse of Chandra in her act.
