The Mohanlal starrer L2: Empuraan arrived on OTT yesterday after a blockbuster performance at the box office. The film riding high with the hype of being the sequel to Lucifer added great numbers on the opening day, but the word of mouth impacted its prospects later. However, it became an Industry hit in Mollywood but failed miserably in other languages box office. Now, it received the same response on the OTT platform as well.
L2: Empuraan streamed on JioHostar in all South Indian languages and the reception is disastrous. This is surely a shock to the team. The team expected it to perform well to continue the franchise with the third part. So, with this shocking reception making another film in the franchise with heavy budget will be very risky.
L2: Empuraan suffered before the release with the same issue when Lyca Productions moved away from the project. The film attracted criticism for a depiction of few scenes which were also removed later. The film was also impacted by this criticism in the box office figures. So, the same result on the OTT platform is also disappointing for the team.
