Why You Can’t Leave Before The End-Credit Scene In Lokah Chapter: 1 Chandra
Most audiences have a habit that once the main film ends and the credits begin to roll, they grab their phones, stretch, and walk out. But if you do that during Lokah Chapter: 1 Chandra, you’ll miss one of the most important reveals of this ambitious Malayalam superhero universe.
Yes, the Dominic Arun directorial starring Kalyani Priyadarshan as the mysterious vampire-warrior Chandra is already making waves at the box office.

But what’s keeping fans talking long after the lights come up is a five-minute post-credits sequence featuring Tovino Thomas as Chathan — a scene that plants the seeds for future stories in the Lokah cinematic universe.
In this extended sequence, Chathan (played by Tovino Thomas) is seen sitting alone inside a dimly lit cave. The goblin-like figure, introduced earlier in the film as Chandra’s unlikely ally, begins to narrate fragments of his own past.
His monologue is brief, almost meditative, but it adds depth to his character and hints at the dark mythological roots that will drive upcoming chapters.

For five minutes, the film slows down from its action-packed pace and allows Chathan to reflect, almost as if he’s not just talking to himself, but to the audience, about the weight of his existence and the burden of his siblings. It’s a clever tease that transforms him from a cameo role into a central figure in the saga.
Post-credit scenes are no longer just a Hollywood gimmick; they’re a promise to audiences. Here, Dulquer Salmaan’s Wayfarer Films makes it clear that Lokah is designed as a universe, not a standalone story. By spotlighting Tovino’s Chathan, the makers are signalling that the goblin will play a pivotal role in the next chapter.
The scene also ties neatly with the earlier archaeological expedition subplot, where a monk and scientists venture into India’s deepest caves, suggesting that Chathan’s past and his 389 siblings may become a central conflict.
Reports from theatres across Kerala confirm that many viewers who stayed back for the credits erupted in excitement when Tovino’s monologue began. Those who left early? They’ve been rushing online later, asking friends and fans: “What happened in the end-credit scene of Lokah?”
