Lights, camera, and action! 🎬 The grand spectacle of the Indian box office continues as Prithviraj Sukumaran’s directorial delight, L2: Empuraan, rakes in the moolah faster than you can say, "Mohanlal." In a mere 13 days, this cinematic rollercoaster has zoomed past the Rs 100 crore milestone, collecting an impressive Rs 101.15 crore in India. Talk about hitting the jackpot! 💰
Epic Opening Weekend
Imagine this: Mohanlal, back in his iconic avatar as Khureshi-Ab’ram, leading a powerhouse ensemble cast featuring Tovino Thomas, Manju Warrier, Indrajith Sukumaran, Abhimanyu Singh, and Sachin Khedekar. It’s no wonder the film opened with a bang, pulling in a whopping Rs 21 crore on day one alone! With Malayalam audiences showing up in droves, the film amassed Rs 80.7 crore from Kerala in its debut week. Talk about home turf advantage! 🏡
As weekdays rolled in, some might have expected the thrill to fizzle out, but nay, the film held its ground, raking in around Rs 1.25 crore on day 13. Can I get a round of applause for consistency? 👏
The Occupancy Chronicles
Kerala seems to be hosting a perpetual movie night, with Malayalam (2D) occupancy darting around 15.32%, and night shows peaking at a respectable 18.51%. Meanwhile, Tamil audiences aren’t left out of the party, maintaining a 12.15% occupancy. It seems the dubbed versions are doing a pretty decent job of luring audiences outside God’s Own Country. 🌍
Prithviraj’s Masterstroke
This is Prithviraj’s third dance behind the camera, and boy, what a dance it is! Stylish action, political drama, and emotions dialed up to eleven—what’s not to love? By releasing the film in multiple languages, he’s ensured that no one misses out on the fun. 🎉
As the film continues its theatrical tango, there might be a few dips along the way, but who cares when controversy is your best buddy, boosting ticket sales like nobody’s business? 🎟️
Nisha’s Nutshell
Here’s the scoop, folks: In Bollywood, a little drama, a sprinkle of controversy, and a whole lot of star power can turn any film into a box office bonanza. Moral? Never underestimate the power of an iconic mustache and a well-placed action sequence. 😉
