‘L2: Empuraan’ Opens Big

Mohanlal’s much awaited magnum opus ‘L2:Empuraan’ has opened big.

Despite mixed reviews, the movie has opened to an impressive figure of 22 crores, which includes 19.45 crores from the Malayalam version. This is the second highest opening figure for any Malayalam movie, with the highest opening day figure record also held by Mohanlal. In 2021, ‘Marakkar : Lion of the Arabian Sea’ opened up to a figure of 20 crores, though it failed to sustain the momentum later.

However, despite the huge hype around the movie, ‘L2: Empuraan’ failed to become the year’s biggest opener. Bollywood film ‘Chhaava’ raked in a whopping 31 crores when it released on February 14. ‘Chhaava’ is officially a blockbuster, with a worldwide revenue of more than 785 crores worldwide on a budget of 130 crores, and a net domestic revenue of nearly 590 crores.

With a budget of 180 crores, the game for ‘L2 : Empuraan’ is tough, if not impossible.
