L2: Empuraan Box Office Day 19: Mohanlal Starrer Earns Over ₹104 Cr, Yet Fails to Be a Hit
Kochi, April 16, 2025 – L2: Empuraan, the much-anticipated sequel to Lucifer and Mollywood’s most expensive film to date, continues its run at the box office, albeit at a slower pace. On Day 19, the film earned ₹0.62 crore, showing a 59% jump from Sunday’s ₹0.39 crore due to the Ambedkar Jayanti holiday.

This brings the film’s India net total to ₹104.78 crore and gross earnings to ₹123.64 crore. Despite strong numbers, the film falls short of being declared a success due to its ₹180 crore budget.
Mohanlal’s last hit, the 2023 courtroom drama Neru, earned ₹32.35 crore in its lifetime. In contrast, L2: Empuraan has raked in nearly 282% more in just 19 days — a testament to the sequel’s initial pull and massive scale.
However, the film has only recovered around 68% of its budget so far. As collections dip below ₹1 crore daily, full recovery looks unlikely.
Despite falling short of the all-time #1 spot held by Manjummel Boys (₹142 crore), L2 has emerged as Mollywood’s second-biggest grosser of the year, setting a new benchmark for sequels and political thrillers in the industry.
Fresh Malayalam releases like Bazooka, Alappuzha Gymkhana, and Maranamass have reduced L2’s screen count, diverting footfalls and momentum away from the Mohanlal-led film.
