Mollywood film, L2: Empuraan starring Mohanlal is rocking the box office. The film has already crossed the 200 crore gross mark worldwide and is racing towards the 300 crores mark. At the same time, the film has also become the center of controversy due to accusations of political depiction in a few scenes. Now, the Producer of the film, Gokulam Gopalan is facing the ED heat.

0

Mohanlal’s Empuraan is achieving many big milestones for Mollywood. Because it was a sequel, the trade expected it to gather massive numbers at the box office, and the film is doing well. Empuraan creates history as it becomes the first 100 Cr share film in Mollywood.

Even though Manjummel Boys collected 240 Cr gross, it did not achieve a 100 Crore share due to the difference in terms with the distributors, and especially it received huge numbers in Tamil Nadu, and their share percentage was low. So, it failed to join the 100 Cr share club.

L2: Empuraan collected around 235 Cr gross worldwide for 8 days, and the share will be more than 100 Cr. In Kerala, the film has collected more than 30 Cr share and around 60 Cr share from overseas. The rest of India’s share will be more than 10 Cr.

With all these, Monalal’s Empuraan creates history as it becomes the first 100 Cr share film in Mollywood. The surprising thing is the senior hero is the one who is scoring big hits at the box office every now and then.

Mohanlal is the one who opened the 100 Cr gross club for Mollywood, and now he himself has achieved the 100 Cr share club with Empuraan, and with today’s collections, the film will also beat Manjummel Boys (240 Cr) and will become the new industry hit. The film has a high chance of joining the 300 Cr club as well.
