Mohanlal starrer L2: Empuraan clocked unimaginable pre-release buzz, witnessing some never-seen-before trends in Malayalam cinema. Unfortunately, the early reviews are unfavorable, and we fear a dent in its box office collections. But before that, there are reasons to celebrate, as it has created history in Kerala. Scroll below for all day 1 updates.
Leo’s humungous feat!
Thalpathy Vijay starrer Leo was the only Indian film clocking the opening day in double-digit in Kerala. It amassed 12 crores gross, a feat that even Pushpa 2, KGF Chapter 2, and other biggies failed to achieve.
L2: Empuraan has now done the impossible! It has garnered 15 crores gross on its day 1 in Kerala. With collections almost 25% higher than Leo, Mohanlal’s film has now conquered the throne.
Take a look at the 5 highest opening-day collections at the Kerala box office below:
- L2: Empuraan: 15 crores gross
- Leo: 12 crores gross
- KGF Chapter 2: 7.25 crores gross
- Beast: 6.60 crores gross
- Pushpa 2: 6.35 crores gross
L2: Empuraan vs Pushpa 2
Allu Arjun‘s Pushpa 2 is now the highest-grossing Indian film, all languages included. Not only in southern regions, it was rip-roaring even in the Northern belt. But it failed to make a mark in Kerala.
Pushpa 2 had grossed 6.35 crores gross on its day 1. L2: Empuraan has clocked almost 136% higher earnings.
