“L2: Empuraan broke records with its speed to ₹100 Cr, but long-term legs matter. Manjummel Boys is proof that content-driven word of mouth beats early fireworks,” — Regional Trade Analyst
🏁 Final Takeaway
Even though L2: Empuraan doubled the 16-day total of Manjummel Boys, it now faces a steep slowdown. With dwindling footfalls and limited show counts, it may wrap up under ₹120 Cr – short of Manjummel Boys’ historic ₹142 Cr.
