Mohanlal and Prithviraj’s much-anticipated film L2E: Empuraan is all set to make history at the Kerala box office by challenging and possibly surpassing the opening day record held by Thalapathy Vijay’s Leo: Bloody Sweet.
L2E: Empuraan Targets Record-Breaking Opening
With Kerala’s audience eagerly awaiting the sequel to Lucifer, the box office numbers already reflect a massive demand. The film has reportedly grossed Rs 10.67 crore (including block seats) from 3,144 shows, boasting an impressive 75.55% occupancy as per Track BO. Even when estimated without block seats, the gross remains a staggering Rs 10.55 crore, with approximately 6,05,656 tickets sold. The advance bookings indicate a strong hold over audiences, with 2,134 fast-filling and 547 houseful shows recorded so far.
The Leo Benchmark
Thalapathy Vijay’s Leo: Bloody Sweet has held the Kerala opening day record with a massive Rs 12 crore collection. Even Pushpa 2- The Rule , despite Allu Arjun’s massive popularity could not breach this record. However, with the current pace of L2E: Empuraan, the film is poised to challenge this milestone and possibly surpass it.
Mohanlal & Prithviraj’s Power Duo
The combination of Mohanlal’s stardom and Prithviraj’s directorial vision has elevated L2E: Empuraan to one of the most anticipated Malayalam films in recent history. The sequel carries the weight of Lucifer’s success, which was a blockbuster and set new benchmarks for Malayalam cinema.
Can L2E: Empuraan Reign Supreme?
If the ticket sales and occupancy rates sustain their momentum, L2E: Empuraan has a strong chance of dethroning Leo’s Kerala opening record right before the screening starts on 27th March or before the end of day 1. The film’s mass appeal, combined with Prithviraj’s strategic storytelling and Mohanlal’s legendary screen presence, could result in a historic box office opening.
With just a slight push in ticket sales, L2E: Empuraan may become the biggest opener in Kerala, marking a new era in Malayalam cinema’s commercial potential. All eyes are now on the final numbers, as the film gears up to script box office history.
