The Lokesh Cinematic Universe

Three films that genuinely connect, and two more that everybody adds to the list even though the director has ruled both of them out.

Where to start with The Lokesh Cinematic Universe

Three films, in release order, which is also story order. There is no version of this where somebody new should begin anywhere other than Kaithi, and nothing else in the universe has been released yet.

  1. 1
    Kaithi Kaithi

    One night, one truck, one drug seizure. It sets up the police officer, the constable and the narcotics haul that the next two films are both built on.

  2. 2
    Vikram Vikram

    Set months later and dependent on Kaithi having happened, since the inspector from that film has lost his family in the fallout from the bust by the time this one opens.

  3. 3
    Leo Leo

    Present day, after both. Its links are a returning constable, a returning bit player and a phone call, so it plays fine on its own but reads much better third.

Then what? That is everything released. Master and Coolie are both worth watching and neither is part of this, so treat them as separate films rather than as chapters. Benz, Kaithi 2, a short film called Chapter Zero and talked-about films for Rolex, Vikram 2 and Leo 2 have all been announced without release dates.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
