Malayalam superstar is back with a bang, and L2: Empuraan is proving to be a box-office juggernaut! Directed by another star hero Prithviraj Sukumaran , the film was released worldwide on March 27th. It has already surpassed expectations and is well on its way to breaking records across the board after it entered ₹100 Crores club.
One of the most impressive milestones so far is the way Empuraan performed on online ticketing portal BookMyShow. The Mohanlal starrer sold out a whopping 3 million tickets so far, surpassing the numbers set by Fahad Faasil runaway blockbuster Aavesham earlier.
Thus it secured the position as the second best-selling Malayalam film on the platform while Manjummel Boys occupies the No.1 slot. Considering how competitive the Malayalam film industry has become in recent years, this is no small feat for Empuraan.
The momentum doesn’t stop there. On its first Monday, which is usually crucial for any film, Empuraan topped BookMyShow’s list of Top 10 Mollywood films, with a massive 253,000 tickets sold out.
The film also became the top Malayalam film that entered the 100 crores club in a short time; an achievement that speaks volumes about the Prithviraj Sukumaran directorial.
