L2: Empuraan Overseas collection
Prithviraj Sukumaran’s directorial surpassed all expectations with an earth-shattering opening, garnering around $5 million (INR 42.77 crores) on day 1. But the best is yet to come because L2: Empuraan has raked in a whopping $12 million (INR 102.67 crores) in its debut weekend.
L2: Empuraan has created history by becoming the first Malayalam film to gross 100 crores overseas. It attained this massive feat in only four days, which is a very challenging record for any upcoming Mollywood movie.

The action thriller has already earned 33% more than its breakeven target, which is another reason to celebrate. All eyes are now on how soon it reaches the 150 crore mark.
