After the Eid celebrations, the pace of L2: Empuraan has gone down considerably, but it still continues to achieve some exciting box office feats. In front of Bazooka, it will retain a healthy chunk of shows but won’t cause any major damage. Empuraan’s word-of-mouth isn’t very encouraging, so that is expected to benefit Mammootty’s upcoming biggie.
For those who don’t know, Mammootty’s last theatrical release, Dominic And The Ladies’ Purse closed its day 1 advance booking at the Indian box office by amassing 70 lakh gross. Before the day ends, Bazooka is expected to cross it. At a given pace, the film is expected to comfortably cross the 1 crore mark in the opening day pre-sales.
