However, even after her victory, 'Chandra' realises that she can’t live a normal life. In an emotional moment, she bids adieu to 'Sunny' (played by Naslen), accepting that her supernatural powers set her apart from the others.

The mid and post-credit scenes of Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra expand the Lokah universe. In the mid-credits, Dulquer Salmaan appears as 'Odiyan', a mysterious, ninja-like character, who will reportedly play a key role in the next part. The post-credit scene then introduces Tovino Thomas as 'Chathan', a strange goblin-like figure, who is being interrogated about a failed archaeological dig. During the scene, 'Chathan's' statement, "It could be me... or one of my 389 siblings. We all look alike," suggests that multiple versions of him exist. This statement also hinted at a connection between the Lokah and the ARM world, a previous film of Tovino. However, Tovino himself confirmed that there is no connection between ARM and Lokah, and that both belong to different universes.
