Lokah Plot
Lokah revolves around Chandra, portrayed by Kalyani, a young woman who comes back to Bengaluru after two decades in Sweden. Her secretive evening outings draw the curiosity of two neighbourhood boys, Sunny (Naslen) and Venu (Chandu Salimkumar). As they keep a close watch on her, the duo slowly begins to piece together Chandra’s hidden past — an investigation that drives the core of the narrative. Buoyed by the film’s roaring success, producer Dulquer Salmaan has already begun work on Lokah Part 2.
