L2: Empuraan Day 16 Box Office – Bigger Than Manjummel Boys Early On, But Falls Short of the Crown

Mohanlal and Prithviraj Sukumaran’s L2: Empuraan raced past ₹100 Cr in record time but now slows to a crawl, collecting just ₹16 lakh on Day 16. Despite outperforming Manjummel Boys by 103% in early days, it’s unlikely to dethrone the all-time Mollywood topper.

“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.
