Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra: The Lokah universe continues to expand, and with Lokah 2 on the frame, fans are left with a ton of questions rooted in folklore, reincarnation, and supernatural elements. Tovino’s portrayal of Chathan has sparked particular interest, especially with the claim that over 300 Chathans exist, all having the same face. This aligns with Kerala folklore, where it’s believed that when the original Kuttichathan was killed and dismembered, each part of his body birthed a new Chathan. It’s a chilling origin that gives weight to the presence of multiple versions; each with different personalities and powers.
Some of the best-known Chathans include Karim Kuttichathan, known for his mischievous deeds; Vishnumaya Kuttichathan, related to divine power; Pulakkutti Chathan and Neerkkutti Chathan; and the fiery Theekkutti Chathan. Fans speculate whether Tovino’s character in Lokah is, in fact, Karim Kuttichathan, while Maniyan from ARM could be a manifestation of Theekkutti Chathan, given his fiery temper and disrupting energy.
The inclusion of Odiyan, played by Dulquer Salmaan, adds another intense to the story. Traditionally, Odiyans weren’t immortal; they used black magic and fear to control people. But Lokah reimagines them as shadowy, ninja-like assassins. Is Dulquer’s Odiyan a last reincarnation of an ancient order, now cursed with immortality? Or is he something entirely new, perhaps transformed by a ritual gone wrong?
The opening of Lokah hints at a deeper narrative. Kalyani Priyadarshan’s Chandra is seen pursuing a mysterious object or mission, what exactly was her goal? Was she trying to prevent something catastrophic?
Another puzzle is the villain Gajendran, leader of an organ trafficking ring. His resemblance to an ancient evil king shown in flashbacks has led fans to speculate: is he a reincarnation, or is there a darker magic at play?
Then there’s Prakash, portrayed by Nishanth Sagar, who cryptically asks, “Even you are a daughter to Moothon?” This line may allude to a shared origin or curse affecting several characters.
Neeli’s unexpected appearance in Bengaluru raises further suspicion. Was her mission personal, or was she drawn by Gajendran’s growing influence?
Looking ahead, Vijayaraghavan’s character may take a dramatic turn. With his granddaughter battling a terminal illness, he could become an antagonist, hunting immortals to unlock the secrets of eternal life, hoping to save her. If so, Lokah 2 may blur the line between hero and villain more than ever before.
