In a powerful moment for Malayalam cinema, L2: Empuraan — the much-anticipated sequel to Lucifer — has become more than just a movie; it has become a celebration. Within just 48 hours of release, the film crossed the monumental milestone of ₹100 crore in worldwide box office collections, becoming the fastest Malayalam film to do so.
Directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran and starring legends like Mohanlal, along with a stellar cast including Caroline Koziol and Tovino Thomas, Empuraan is not only a cinematic triumph but also a testament to what storytelling can do when hearts come together.
Despite facing its share of controversy, the film resonated deeply with audiences. It opened with an astounding ₹22 crore on day one, led by love from Kerala and the Malayalam-speaking audience. By day two, although there was a 44% dip, Empuraan still earned ₹11.75 crore — proof that even in decline, its impact was strong and unwavering.
The team behind Empuraan expressed their gratitude, sharing:
“The Cicada himself. Empuraan surpasses ₹100 crore at the box office worldwide in less than 48 hours, setting new benchmarks in cinematic history. A heartfelt thanks to all of you for being part of this extraordinary success! Your love and support made this possible.”
This achievement isn’t just about numbers — it reflects the emotional connection between artists and audiences. It’s about the people who showed up, the stories that moved them, and the unbreakable bond that cinema can create.
With this milestone, Empuraan has now joined — and surpassed — the legacy of films like Lucifer, Premalu, Manjummel Boys, and 2018. More importantly, it has reminded everyone of the magic that happens when creativity meets community.
