Mohanlal’s L2: Empuraan has the makings of a blockbuster in the Malayalam film industry, but reaching its box office target will be a tough challenge.
Mohanlal’s L2: Empuraan has been in the news for both excitement and controversy. While the film is building strong anticipation, the publicized dispute between Aashirvad Cinemas and Lyca Productions raised concerns.
As per the latest reports, the matter has been settled, and the film is back on track for its planned release. With this positive development, let’s dive into its box office pros,
Strong Traction At the Grassroots Level
This Malayalam action thriller is a large-scale venture with a significant budget. It follows Lucifer (2019) as the second installment in a planned trilogy.
The triumph of the first film has undoubtedly given this Mohanlal-led sequel an advantage. Additionally, the stellar cast, featuring Prithviraj Sukumaran, Tovino Thomas, Manju Warrier, and others, has further heightened the excitement.
As L2: Empuraan prepares for its grand release on March 27, all the elements are aligning in its favor. Prithviraj Sukumaran has the opportunity to deliver a major industry hit for Mollywood, though reaching that benchmark will be no easy feat.
L2: Empuraan Must Surpass Manjummel Boys to Claim the Top Spot
Manjummel Boys stands as Mollywood’s biggest industry hit. Released in 2024, this Malayalam survival thriller emerged as an all-time blockbuster, raking in an impressive Rs 241.56 crore worldwide. This includes Rs 167.56 crore from the Indian box office and Rs 74 crore from international markets.
To be recognized as an industry hit, L2: Empuraan must exceed the benchmark set by Manjummel Boys, which is a tough challenge. The Mohanlal-led film needs to achieve a global box office gross of Rs 242 crore.
Lucifer recorded a lifetime gross of ₹128 crore. To attain industry hit status, L2: Empuraan must outperform it by 89% in earnings. While it’s a challenging feat, it’s certainly within reach.
