Kalyani Priyadarshan’s Lokah earns praise across India as Nyla Usha backs Darshana Rajendran and Parvathy Thiruvothu’s call for stronger female roles in cinema.

‘Lokah - Chapter 1: Chandra’, directed by Dominic Arun and featuring Kalyani Priyadarshan in the lead role, is rewriting history in theatres. The superhero film is receiving widespread acclaim with each passing day, drawing praise from audiences and industry veterans alike. Among the many voices celebrating the film, actress Nyla Usha’s heartfelt words have caught attention.
In a recent interview, actress Darshana Rajendran had openly shared that roles like the ones Fahadh Faasil gets are rarely written for women — a comment that sparked both support and debate. Nyla Usha has now voiced her solidarity with Darshana by posting a powerful image featuring Kalyani from Lokah, alongside Parvathy Thiruvothu and Darshana Rajendran.
The shared card reads, “Her success is theirs too. Thank you for questioning the absence of women.” Nyla added, “Couldn’t agree more.” A simple yet stirring message that speaks volumes.
Lokah marks the beginning of a pan-Indian superhero cinematic universe and is receiving massive praise across the country. The film features strong performances by Naslen and Sandeep (‘Sandy’) alongside Kalyani. The supporting cast includes seasoned actors like Chandu Salimkumar, Arun Kurian, Sharath Sabha, Nishanth Sagar and Vijayaraghavan. The film is making waves at the box office, with its influence spreading far beyond Kerala’s borders.
