Empuraan box office collection day 14: Mohanlal’s film braces itself for Good Bad Ugly onslaught, targets Rs 300 crore worldwide
Empuraan Box Office Collection Day 14: Mohanlal’s Sequel Eyes ₹300 Crore Mark Despite Upcoming Competition
After a phenomenal start at the box office, Empuraan, starring Malayalam superstar Mohanlal, continues to dominate ticket counters in its second week. Directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, this political-action thriller proves to be a commercial juggernaut, setting new benchmarks for Malayalam cinema. With 14 days of steady performance behind it, the film now braces for a potential challenge as Good Bad Ugly enters the fray this weekend.
Strong Second Week Performance
Empuraan’s momentum remains steady even after two weeks in theatres. Trade insiders report that the film has raked in close to ₹275 crore worldwide as of Day 14. Kerala contributes a significant portion of the revenue, while the Middle East, a major market for Malayalam films, boosts its global earnings further.
The movie performs consistently not only in major cities but also in tier-2 towns and rural areas. Audiences and critics alike praise the gripping narrative and high production value, pushing it to the forefront of Indian cinema this month.
A Sequel That Meets Expectations
As the sequel to 2019’s blockbuster Lucifer, Empuraan carried sky-high expectations. Fans can breathe easy—the film delivers. Mohanlal steps back into the role of the enigmatic Stephen Nedumpally, bringing even more depth and intensity to a character already considered iconic.
Prithviraj’s direction demonstrates a clear vision and keeps the storytelling sharp and immersive. The screenplay keeps viewers on the edge of their seats, while the action sequences showcase rare finesse in regional cinema.
Eyes on the ₹300 Crore Club
With just ₹25 crore to go, Empuraan now sets its sights on the prestigious ₹300 crore mark. Achieving this would place it among the top-grossing Malayalam films of all time, possibly overtaking Pulimurugan, another major Mohanlal success.
Strong word-of-mouth and high repeat viewership suggest that the ₹300 crore milestone lies within reach. However, the upcoming release of Good Bad Ugly, a multilingual action-packed film, could impact Empuraan’s box office dominance, particularly over the weekend.
Can ‘Good Bad Ugly’ Slow Down Empuraan?
The arrival of Good Bad Ugly introduces competition in the marketplace. Featuring a stellar cast and wide appeal, the film might eat into Empuraan’s screen count and revenue. Despite this, trade analysts believe Empuraan has built a strong foundation and retains a loyal audience, especially in South India.
Sustaining momentum in the face of fresh content will test Empuraan’s staying power. While early bookings for Good Bad Ugly show promise, they may not significantly weaken Empuraan’s grip in its key markets.
Industry Impact and Future Prospects
In just two weeks, Empuraan has achieved something remarkable. The film proves that regional cinema—when driven by gripping stories and strong performances—can captivate audiences on a massive scale. Mohanlal once again reaffirms his unmatched box office draw, even after decades in the industry.
The producers now plan to expand the film’s reach through international releases and dubbed versions in Hindi and Tamil. If these expansions proceed quickly, Empuraan could surpass the ₹300 crore target even faster.
Final Word
Empuraan isn’t just a box office success—it’s a cinematic moment that signals the rising influence of Malayalam cinema. As the film enters its third week, fans and industry watchers wait to see whether it can maintain its pace and hit the ₹300 crore milestone despite new competition.
Regardless of what unfolds next, one thing remains certain—Empuraan has already earned its place in Indian film history. With every frame, Mohanlal continues to elevate his legacy to new heights.
