We are delighted to announce that Lokah Films have been officially nominated for the Cannes Fashion Awards in the prestigious category of Excellence Award for Foreign Film Distribution in Europe.
Lokah Films has earned a nomination for the Excellence Award for Foreign Film Distribution in Europe, recognizing its growing contribution to bringing Indian cinema to wider audiences across Europe.
Founded in 2018, Lokah Films was established with a clear vision: to make Indian films more accessible to audiences in Europe through large-scale theatrical releases and premium cinema experiences.
The company achieved a major breakthrough with Odiyan, which became the first ever Malayalam film to receive a same-day theatrical release in Germany, a milestone moment for South Indian cinema in Europe.
Within a year of its launch, Lokah expanded its distribution network across 39 countries in Europe and Asia, building a strong presence in international theatrical distribution. Over the years, the company has played a significant role in elevating the overseas reach of Malayalam cinema and Indian films across multiple languages.
Notably, the films Empuraan and Lokah: Chapter Chandra were the first Malayalam movies to run in IMAX, becoming the number one films in Germany on their opening day and set all-time gross records for Indian movies across Europe.
Lokah Films proudly brings the spectacular LIVE experience Mohanlal: Beyond The Screen to European audiences on 26.06.2026 at Rudolf Weber Arena, Oberhausen, Germany.
The Excellence Award nomination reflects not only Lokah’s business growth, but also its cultural impact in strengthening the global presence of Indian films. By consistently expanding theatrical access and creating larger international platforms for regional cinema, Lokah Films continues to play an important role in connecting European audiences with Indian storytelling.
