Loca Chapter 1: Chandra, starring Kalyani Priyadarshan and Neslen in the lead roles, hits the big screens in early 2025. Directed by Dominic Arun, the film 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 lives a quiet and secluded life, keeping a low profile while working night shifts in a café. Opposite his apartment lives Sunny, a medical college dropout who shares a flat with his friends.
Influenced by her new neighbor, Sunny develops feelings for her, even though she avoids him. However, their lives take a dark turn when Chandra becomes entangled in the sinister schemes of an organ-trafficking gang, eventually discovering that she is, in fact, Kalliankattu Neeli, the mythical creature of folklore.
How Neely, along with her new companions and other mythical creatures, overcomes threats to her life is the central plot of the story.
Apart from the lead cast, the film stars Sandy Master, Arun Kurian, Chandu Salim Kumar, Raghunath Paleri, Vijayaraghavan and many others in lead roles.
The film also features cameo performances by Dulquer Salmaan and Tovino Thomas, with Mammootty lending his voice for Moothon. It was praised by critics, as well as its performances, visuals, world-building, and more.
Earlier, the makers had announced that the film’s sequel, Loca Chapter 2, will be directed by Tovino Thomas, who will reprise his role as Chauthan.
