About L2: Empuraan

L2: Empuraan is the second instalment in a planned trilogy and follows the success of Lucifer (2019). Apart from Mohanlal, the film also stars Prithviraj, Tovino Thomas, Abhimanyu Singh, Indrajith Sukumaran, and Manju Warrier.

An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film read, “On paper, Empuraan has everything for a blockbuster - a star who is revered, a supporting cast that is competent and popular, exotic locales, slick action, and a large budget. What it lacks is a cohesive story, though. The first hour of Empuraan takes the viewer to half a dozen locations across two different timelines. As we traverse through this travelogue, there is no semblance of a plot that goes anywhere. As the politics in Kerala is meandering its way through another twist, Ab'raam is eliminating enemies half the globe away.”
