L2 Empuraan worldwide box office collection

L2 Empuraan made ₹99.90 crore net and ₹116.80 crore gross in India by day twelve, collecting ₹140.20 crore overseas and taking the total worldwide collection to ₹257 crore. The film registered a 16.30% occupancy, despite it being a Monday and its second week. The film’s collections since it made ₹100 crore in two days of release.

And while L2 Empuraan has broken numerous records to become the second-highest-grossing Indian film in 2025, the highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time and the Malayalam film with the highest opening, there’s one record it needs to break. The film has crossed the ₹80 crore threshold in its home state Kerala, but has yet to beat 2018’s ₹88.7 crore haul in the region.

“Malayalam cinema breaches the 250cr barrier for the first time in its history! The Emperor and his General navigating never seen before territory!” wrote the film’s producers, celebrating the ₹250 crore haul. They also wrote, “One of the elite few to cross 80 Cr+ in Kerala. History has a new chapter.”

His brother, the CM of Kerala, Jathin Ramdas (Tovino Thomas) has allied with an extremist Baldev (Abhimanyu Singh) that threatens the secularity of the state. His right hand man Zayed Masood (Prithviraj) has something personal at stake, as does his sister Priyadarshini (Manju Warrier).
