Biggest opening for Mohanlal!

Till now, Marakkar: Lion of the Arabian Sea was Mohanlal’s biggest opener at the Indian box office with a collection of 7.43 crore gross. It has now been comfortably surpassed by L2: Empuraan, which earned 10.40 crore gross through pre-sales alone. If calculated, Empuraan is ahead with a 40% higher sum. So, the new biggest opener for Laletan is already here!

Over 4,300 shows have been listed for online booking, and occupancy has already reached 52%. Before the film arrives in theatres, occupancy is expected to reach 60-65%. So, there will be the opportunity to earn a significant chunk of the business through over-the-counter ticket sales. So, be prepared for a record-breaking opening day in the history of Malayalam cinema.

L2: Empuraan is already a contender for an industry hit, and if word-of-mouth turns out to be positive, the sky will be the limit.
