According to the report, L2: Empuraan has amassed Rs 59.35 crore in just four days. It kicked off with a bang, shattering expectations with a record Rs 21.5 crore on day one—double the previous best for any Malayalam film! While collections dipped to Rs 11.1 crore on day two, the film held strong with Rs 13.25 crore on day three. Now, with early estimates placing day four at Rs 14 crore, the weekend surge is in full swing.
On Sunday, L2: Empuraan saw an impressive 77.02 per cent occupancy in Malayalam theatres. However, the real test begins now, as Salman Khan’s Sikandar, which hit screens on March 30 for Eid, is set to shake things up at the box office.
Despite this controversy, the film is doing well. It ran into trouble over the going row over some of its sequences which allegedly allude to the Gujarat riots. The makers have reportedly decided to implement 17 cuts, along with muting certain dialogues. The decision reportedly comes after certain Hindu organisations raised objections, alleging that L2: Empuraan portrays their religion in a negative light.
According to reports, around 17 cuts will be made to Empuraan. These reportedly include scenes depicting violence against women and certain riot sequences. Additionally, the antagonist’s name, Baba Bajrangi (played by Abhimanyu Singh), is expected to be changed, and some dialogues will be muted. The revised version will undergo censorship approval by the CBFC and is expected to be screened starting next week.
“Some words have been muted for the time being. There have been protests for certain things shown in the movie and I have asked the director, if he can make any changes. He should. The film was censored, there were no issues then. We have no connection with any political party, I see politics as a service," producer Gokulam Gopalan had earlier told Manorama Online.
In L2: Empuraan, Mohanlal reprises his iconic role as Stephen Nedumpally, aka Khureshi Ab’raam. This time, with the help of Zayed (Prithviraj Sukumaran), he makes a powerful return from overseas, setting his sights back home. His mission? To stop Chief Minister Jathin Ramdas (Tovino Thomas) and take control of the game once again.
Empuraan received majorly positive reviews from all. News18 Showsha’s review of the film read, “Despite its dense plot, Empuraan serves as a standalone film. While it is still a sequel to Lucifer, it just takes the plot to a new dimension where the stakes are humongous. Two narratives unfold simultaneously. One is about the local problem in Kerala, which requires the return of Stephen, and the second one deals with an international conflict between two crime syndicates. Prithviraj and Murali Gopy manage to find a common point to merge the two narratives, which feels a bit forced. However, the direction and the writing do convince you and buy into the plot."
