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