L2: Empuraan Box Office Collection Day 20: Mohanlal’s ₹180 Cr Magnum Opus Recovers Just 58%, Declared a Losing Affair

Despite a record-breaking opening week and crossing ₹100 crore in India, L2: Empuraan falls short of expectations as it struggles to recover its massive production cost of ₹180 crore.

April 17, 2025 | Mohanlal’s highly anticipated political-action thriller L2: Empuraan, directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, began its box office journey with tremendous hype and broke several records for a Malayalam film. However, despite its powerful start, the film has now slowed down significantly and is falling short of recouping its enormous budget.

  • Day 20 (Tuesday): ₹0.33 crore
  • India Net Collection (20 days): ₹105.11 crore
  • India Gross Collection: ₹124.02 crore
  • Overseas Gross Estimate: ₹146 crore
  • Total Worldwide Gross: ₹270.02 crore

💸 Budget vs Recovery

  • Production Budget: ₹180 crore
  • Recovered (India Net): ₹105.11 crore
  • Recovery Rate: 58.39%
  • Shortfall to Break Even: ₹74.89 crore

According to Koimoi’s verdict metrics, any film that recovers less than 50% of its cost is a losing affair. While L2: Empuraan crosses that threshold, the remaining gap makes it financially unviable at the Indian box office.


🌍 Global Outlook: A Silver Lining?

Although the film struggles to break even in India, its global collection of ₹270.02 crore still marks a strong performance for a Malayalam film on the world stage. With a few more days of run, Empuraan has a slim chance to touch the ₹275 crore milestone, setting a benchmark for Mollywood in overseas markets.
