When a South Indian film starts dominating national box office conversations, it’s a clear sign of something monumental. Following in the footsteps of Baahubali, KGF, and RRR, Mohanlal’s L2 Empuraan is setting new standards as it rewrites the rules of regional cinema. Unlike most regional films that typically shine in their home states, this Malayalam blockbuster is making waves across India, positioning itself as a pan-Indian phenomenon.
Unprecedented Pre-Sales Performance
The pre-sales figures for L2 Empuraan are nothing short of remarkable. The film has already sold over 1.1 million tickets on BookMyShow, surpassing even the biggest Indian releases. The film’s Telugu pre-sales are particularly impressive, with Hyderabad alone recording a massive ₹57.96 lakh in advance bookings for its first day. This figure outpaces local Telugu releases like Mad Square (₹50.21L) and even big names like Salman Khan’s Sikandar (₹21.25L). The weekend advance sales have already crossed ₹77 crore, and they are expected to exceed ₹80 crore, rivaling the lifetime earnings of top Malayalam hits like Bheeshma Parvam, Kannur Squad, and RDX.
National Phenomenon in the Making
L2 Empuraan is no longer just a regional Malayalam film; it has become a national box office sensation. With over 11.29 lakh tickets sold in pre-sales, the film has outpaced major Bollywood and pan-Indian releases such as Jawan (11.02L), Salaar (10.69L), and Animal (7.24L). Only Pushpa 2 and Leo have seen stronger pre-sales in recent times. This meteoric rise signals that the film is poised to break records upon release.
Will It Redefine the Pan-Indian Box Office?
The unprecedented pre-sales streak for L2 Empuraan has created massive hype, and it’s now set to challenge the box office dynamics across the nation. The success of this film could re-establish Malayalam cinema’s dominance beyond Kerala. Only time will tell if the film lives up to the immense expectations, but one thing is certain: the storm has begun, and L2 Empuraan is at the center of it.
