‘L2: Empuraan’ box office collections day 2: Mohanlal starrer holds steady, crosses Rs 33 crore mark

Despite receiving mixed reviews, ‘L2: Empuraan’, starring Mohanlal and directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, is maintaining a steady run at the box office. The film collected Rs 11.75 crore on its second day, bringing its total to Rs 33.25 crore within just two days of release.

According to the Sacnilk website, on its opening day (Thursday), the film registered an impressive Rs 21.5 crore, with the Malayalam version contributing Rs 19.1 crore. However, on Day 2 (Friday), the collections saw a drop of 45.35%, settling at Rs 11.75 crore. The Malayalam version continued to dominate with Rs 10.75 crore, while the film saw marginal collections in Telugu (Rs 27 lakhs), Tamil (₹0.3 crore), Kannada (Rs 3 lakhs), and Hindi (Rs 40 lakhs).
L2: Empuraan Movie Review
The film’s Malayalam occupancy remained strong at 46.02%, with the highest engagement in night shows (57.69%). Other languages saw significantly lower occupancy rates, with Tamil at 18.27%, Telugu at 12.36%, Kannada at 8.21%, and Hindi struggling with just 3.86% in morning shows and 7.74% at night.

With the weekend ahead, L2: Empuraan has a chance to pick up momentum again, especially in Kerala. The mixed word-of-mouth may impact long-term prospects, but Mohanlal’s star power remains a key factor in driving collections. All eyes are now on Day 3 to see if the film can sustain and cross bigger milestones. ETimes review for the film reads, “Deepak Dev’s music perfectly matches the brilliantly visualised scenes; we get involved Khureshi’s quests and get a feel for the mood, thanks to this. Sujith Vasudev’s camerawork balances the fast and mellow scenes superbly throughout. The actors, including Mohanlal and Manju Warrier, come across as a bit restrained. Maybe we would like to see a bit more bombast in a mass entertainer. It is definitely interesting to see director Prithviraj mount a Malayalam film that travels from Africa to the MI6 HQ in London to the Middle East. It definitely lifts the bar for our filmmakers.” On the other hand, since the film is getting mixed reviews, there are chances that the Mohanlal starrer may have a dip in collections in upcoming days.
