Till now, only three films from Mollywood have achieved 10M USD collections overseas, and all three films have been released this year. Lokah breaks Mohanlal’s Thudarum Overseas and enters as the new entrant in this club.
Earlier this year, Mohan Lal’s Empuraan became the first film from the Malayalam industry to cross the 10 million mark, and the next film was also his film, Thudarum, which released just a month later.
Now Kalyani Priyadarshan’s Lokah even breaks Thudarum’s closing collections and settles at the top 2 position.
Top 3 Mollywood Overseas Grossers—
- Empuraan – $16.90M
- Lokah – $11.21M (15 Days)
- Thudarum – $11.06M
Last year and this year have been fantastic for Mollywood, with many big blockbusters at the box office. The Lokah movie’s success is more special as it is the starting film of the biggest cinematic universe in the industry.
