Rs 21 cr opening!
According to early estimates from trade tracking website Sacnilk, ‘L2: Empuraan’ earned around Rs 4.00 crore on its eighth day across all languages, maintaining a steady grip despite weekday drops. The film had a strong opening with Rs 21 crore on Day 1 and has seen fluctuating trends throughout the first week.
Impressive occupancy rates
The Malayalam version remains the primary driver of collections, contributing significantly to the film’s earnings. On its eighth day, the film recorded a 23.26% overall occupancy in Kerala, with the highest footfall seen in night shows (30.16%). The Telugu version saw an overall 8.43% occupancy, while Tamil recorded 13.72%, indicating a relatively lower but consistent audience engagement in other southern markets.

Breaking down the box office trends, L2: Empuraan showed strong momentum over the weekend, peaking at Rs 13.65 crore on its first Sunday before experiencing an expected decline on weekdays. The film made Rs 11.15 crore on Monday, followed by Rs 8.55 crore on Tuesday, Rs 5.65 crore on Wednesday, and now ₹4.00 crore on Thursday. Despite the gradual drop, the film has sustained interest among audiences, especially in Kerala, where Mohanlal’s fan base remains loyal.
Will it cross Rs 100 crore mark
With the weekend ahead, it can be expected that there will be a potential jump in collections, especially if the film continues to receive positive word-of-mouth. L2: Empuraan remains one of the highest-grossing Malayalam films of the year and is expected to breach the Rs 100 crore mark in the coming days. On the other hand, Mohanlal has the most awaited film 'Thudarum' in the pipeline.
