Lokah Continues Strong Run in Theatres
Even though the movie has been running for weeks, it is still pulling crowds in theatres across Kerala. Dulquer Salmaan, who produced the film under Wayfarer Films, recently gave clarity regarding its OTT release. He dismissed all the circulating reports and stated that Lokah will not be available online anytime soon.
Instead, the team will keep the film in cinemas for longer to make use of the festival season. Dulquer on his X handle wrote, “Lokah isn’t coming to OTT anytime soon. Ignore the fake news and stay tuned for official announcements!”

This means fans must wait longer to experience the Lokah from their home comfort. It is safe to assume that the viewer can expect its digital release towards the end of October.
