L2 Empuraan Breaches 260 Crore Mark

The Mohanlal-Prithviraj Sukumaran film L2 Empuraan has been making waves at the box office since its release. According to Sacnilk, the film is on the cusp of making ₹260 crore worldwide, setting new records for films that are to come. By Tuesday, L2 Empuraan had collected ₹101.20 crore net and ₹118.85 crore gross in India, and ₹141.15 crore overseas, taking its total collection to ₹259.50 crore worldwide.

Interestingly, the film seems to be doing better overseas than in India, despite the 15.32% occupancy it boasted for the Malayalam version here on Tuesday. The film shows no signs of slowing down yet, despite almost being at the end of its second week. It also seems to be edging out the competition, beating Sikandar to hold its current position as the second-highest-grossing Indian film of 2025.

A New Benchmark for Malayalam Cinema

L2 Empuraan has broken multiple records for Malayalam cinema. The film is the first Malayalam film to hit ₹100 crore worldwide share and one of the few films that collected over ₹80 crore in Kerala. The film's success can be attributed to its engaging storyline, which sees the return of Stephen Nedumpally, aka Khureshi Ab'raam (Mohanlal), who takes a break from bringing down drug cartels to focus on his brother, CM Jathin Ramdas (Tovino Thomas) forming an alliance with an extremist Baldev (Abhimanyu Singh).

The film's cast, including Mohanlal, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Manju Warrier, and Tovino Thomas, has delivered a memorable performance. With its record-breaking box office collection, L2 Empuraan is shaping up to be one of the most successful films of the year. The film's success is a testament to the growing popularity of Malayalam cinema, and it will be interesting to see how it impacts the industry in the coming years.
