More about Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra
Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra tells the story of its titular character, a mysterious woman who is summoned from Sweden to Karnataka by Moothon (The Elder), the leader of a secret organization.
In Bengaluru, Chandra leads a quiet and secluded life, keeping a low profile while working night shifts at a café. Across from her apartment lives Sunny, a medical college dropout who shares a flat with his friends.
Infatuated with his new neighbour, Sunny develops feelings for her, even though she remains distant. However, their lives take a dark turn when Chandra becomes entangled in an organ-trafficking gang’s sinister plans, ultimately revealing that she is, in fact, the mythical being from folklore, Kalliyankattu Neeli.
How Neeli, along with her newfound companions and other mythical beings, overcomes the threats to their lives forms the central narrative of the story.

Tovino Thomas is set to appear in his next lead role in the action film Pallichattambi, directed by Dijo Jose Antony. He is also expected to be part of Jr NTR’s film NTRNeel (Dragon).
