Empuraan Opens Big at the Box Office
Released in multiple languages on March 27, L2: Empuraan set the cash registers ringing right from day one. The makers had already announced that the film had crossed Rs 80 crore through advance bookings, building high anticipation for its release.
According to trade tracking website Sacnilk, the film earned Rs 22 crore nett in India. The majority of this revenue came from the Malayalam version, which collected Rs 19.45 crore. Meanwhile, the Telugu version earned Rs 1.2 crore, followed by the Tamil, Hindi, and Kannada versions, which brought in Rs 80 lakh, Rs 50 lakh, and Rs 5 lakh, respectively.
Surpassing Previous Records
Before Empuraan, Mohanlal’s Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham held the record for the biggest Malayalam film opener with Rs 20 crore worldwide. Now, Empuraan has surpassed this record in the domestic market alone. With international collections included, the film’s total first-day earnings could cross Rs 50 crore gross.
The film is receiving an overwhelmingly positive response from both critics and audiences. With the extended Eid holiday weekend ahead, it is expected to dominate the box office in the coming days.

Directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, L2: Empuraan boasts a stellar cast, including Mohanlal, Prithviraj, Manju Warrier, Abhimanyu Singh, Tovino Thomas, Suraj Venjaramoodu, and Saniya Ayyappan, among others.

The anticipation for Empuraan skyrocketed after its trailer was unveiled in the early hours of March 20. The nearly four-minute trailer gave fans a sneak peek into the intense drama, action, and mystery surrounding Mohanlal’s character, Stephen Nedumpally.
Director Prithviraj Sukumaran shared the trailer in multiple languages, writing, “Remember.. it’s YOU who summoned the DEVIL at this hour!” The Malayalam trailer was released separately later.
The trailer opens with a powerful voice-over by PK Ramdas, stating, “My children are not my successors. Those who follow me are my children.” This introduces Tovino Thomas as Jathin Ramdas. New characters played by Suraj Venjaramoodu and Nikhat Khan, who play political figures, also make an appearance.
Meanwhile, Manju Warrier’s Priya Ramdas expresses her concerns about her daughter, calling her the only hope left in her life.
As the trailer progresses, the film’s dark world unfolds, filled with drug cartels and Jihadi groups trying to bring down Khuresh Ab’raam (K-A). A minute into the trailer, Mohanlal makes his grand entrance, reminding everyone that there’s still much we don’t know about Stephen Nedumpally.
Prithviraj also makes a stylish appearance as Zayed Masood, adding more intensity to the film. The trailer ends on a suspenseful note, with Indrajith Sukumaran’s Govardan asking Stephen, “Who are you?” To which Mohanlal, in his deep and commanding voice, replies, “Lucifer.”
