Empuraan’s opening is getting bigger day by day. Initially, everyone expected it would break the opening day record for Malayalam cinema [20 Cr] with a good margin, but Mohanlal’s Empuraan advance bookings soared past the ₹35 Cr mark.
Now this big film is on the way to breaking the opening record of Mollywood with more than double margin and close to triple margin. No one expected such a huge number, and Empuraan is going in that way.
The advances for the film now cross the 35 Cr mark worldwide for opening day. From Kerala, it crosses the 10 Cr mark, and it crosses 2.5M overseas, Karnataka 2 Cr. The rest of India will be more than 1 Cr.
With all these, the film crosses 35 Cr in presales worldwide, and with these bookings, definitely the film opening will be more than 50 Cr. The trade is in shock as Mohanlal’s Empuraan advance bookings soar past the ₹35 Cr mark.
The record-breaking advances for this film create a bit of anticipation in Telugu audiences too. Dil Raju is releasing the film in Telugu. The team is also doing good promotions in Telugu.
If the film opens with positive WOM, then we can expect good numbers for L2: Empuraan’s Telugu version as well.
