L2: Empuraan Box Office Day 17 – 168% Growth Offers Hope, But ₹76 Cr Still Needed For Breakeven
April 14, 2025: After a disappointing Friday, L2: Empuraan—the highly ambitious sequel to Lucifer—witnessed a 168% spike in collections on its 17th day at the box office. The Mohanlal and Prithviraj Sukumaran starrer earned ₹43 lakhs on its third Saturday, up from ₹16 lakhs on Friday. However, the spike offers only temporary relief, as the film still needs ₹76 crores to breakeven, a target now looking increasingly out of reach.
While the worldwide performance may cushion the overall impact, L2: Empuraan remains far behind domestic expectations. In India, the film is the highest-grossing Malayalam movie of 2025, but it’s likely to end as the second-biggest Mollywood film of all time, trailing Manjummel Boys which grossed ₹142 crore.
Despite the scale and hype, Empuraan may go down as a classic case of high ambition meeting budget blues. With dwindling footfalls expected after the weekend, recovery hopes now lie in OTT and satellite rights.
