L2: Empuraan, directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran and starring Mohanlal, hit theatres on March 27. The film had a massive opening, setting a new record for Malayalam cinema. However, its box office earnings saw a decline on Day 2.

On its first day, the action thriller earned around ₹22 crore nett, making it the biggest opener in Malayalam film history. According to the tracking website Sacnilk, Empuraan collected ₹11.75 crore on Friday (Day 2), a significant drop from its opening numbers.

The film, a sequel to the 2019 hit Lucifer, had exceeded expectations on release, setting a new benchmark with ₹21.5 crore on its first day—twice the previous highest opening for a Malayalam film. Despite the dip, L2: Empuraan remains a strong performer and is expected to pick up over the weekend.
