Mohanlal’s tsunami has finally arrived in the theaters and is hinting at a box office destruction. However, the ticket bookings for the film on BMS, could not turn into the beast it hinted to be. In fact, after a roaring sale on the day of the commencement of the advance booking, things slowed down a bit at least on this front!
Mohanlal Fails To Beat The Top 5
Interestingly, despite shattering records here and there, Mohanlal has failed to beat the top 5 ticket pre-sales for Indian films on BMS, which is ruled by Pushpa 2 with advance ticket sales of a massive 3 million on BMS.
L2: Empuraan Box Office Final Ticket Pre-Sales
The final ticket pre-sales of L2: Empuraan stands at 1.33 million. It surpassed Jr NTR‘s Devara, that registered a ticket sale of 1.31 million in advance on BMS. On the final day before the film released, March 26, Wednesday, Mohanlal’s film registered a ticket sale of 204.7K which is not that bright a number!
However, Mohanlal has definitely surpassed the best in Mollywood by a huge margin. The previous best ticket pre-sales for a Mollywood film in 2024 – 25 was Aadujeevitham: The GOAT Life, which registered 309K ticket sales in advance on BMS. Mohanlal’s biggie, also starring Prithviraj Sukumaran, has registered 331% higher ticket pre-sales than Prithviraj’s last film!
Check out the top 10 ticket pre-sales of Indian films on BMS:
Pushpa 2: 3 million
Leo: 2.28 million
Kalki 2898 AD: 1.72 million
Salaar: 1.66 million
Jawan: 1.65 million
L2: Empuraan: 1.33 million
Devara: 1.31 million
Animal: 1.26 million
Jailer: 1.19 million
The Greatest Of All Time: 1.19 million
Misses A Rare Record
Mohanlal misses a rare record that could have been made if L2: Empuraan could surpass Jawan’s pre-sales. The top 5 films then would have been South Indian biggies, making it a rare achievement!
Day 1 Starts Huge!
The opening day has already started huge for Mohanlal’s film, registering a ticket sale of 7K from 7 – 8 AM, which is much higher than yesterday’s 2K ticket sales on BMS for the same time frame. All eyes are on the opening number!
