L2: Empuraan at the worldwide box office

Being a front-loaded affair backed by the sequel factor, the Mollywood magnum opus had a roaring start. It minted huge moolah for over a week, but after the euphoria settled down, it saw a significant drop. The kind of start it enjoyed, the film was touted to be the first 300 crore grosser for Mollywood, but now, it won’t get there due to the slow pace.

According to the latest update, L2: Empuraan earned 105.43 crore net at the Indian box office in 21 days, as per Sacnilk. Including taxes, it equals 124.40 crore gross. It’s a strong total, but considering the reported cost of 180 crores, it looks underwhelming.

Overseas, the Mohanlal starrer has smashed a record-breaking 142.05 crore gross (revised). Combining the Indian and overseas gross, the biggie has earned a huge sum of 266.45 crore gross at the worldwide box office.
