‘L2: Empuraan’, starring Mohanlal and directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, shows a steady box office run despite mixed reviews. It earned Rs 11.75 crore on its second day, total climbing to Rs 33.25 crore in two days. The Malayalam version led collections, with significant drops across other languages. With steady Malayalam occupancy and Mohanlal’s star power, the film aims to regain momentum over the weekend. ETimes praises the film’s music, cinematography, and direction, though notes a restrained performance from the lead actors.
