Asianet Middle East Channel Christmas Premier Movie Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra
Known for premiering the most talked-about Malayalam films on television, Asianet Middle East adds another standout title to its lineup this holiday season with Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra. Starring Kalyani Priyadarshan in a commanding lead role, the film is a folklore-infused fantasy superhero thriller that takes a refreshingly grounded approach to the genre.
The story follows Chandra, a mysterious woman whose arrival in the city pulls her into a shadowy world of corruption, violence, and ancient supernatural forces hiding in plain sight. Blending Indian mythology with restrained action and minimal CGI, the focus stays firmly on character, mood, and immersive world-building rather than spectacle.
Engaging and atmospheric, it’s the kind of film that fits perfectly into a laid-back holiday weekend watchlist.
