Mohanlal’s Empuraan Becomes First Malayalam Film to Gross ₹50 Cr on Opening Day

Mohanlal’s highly anticipated action thriller Empuraan is rewriting box office history even before its release. The film, directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran and written by Murali Gopy, has shattered records by becoming the first-ever Malayalam movie to cross ₹50 crore in worldwide collections on its opening day, solely from advance ticket sales. With the film hitting screens globally tomorrow, industry experts predict that Empuraan could touch an astounding ₹65-70 crore on its first day, setting an unprecedented benchmark for Malayalam cinema.

The previous record for the highest opening day gross in Malayalam cinema was held by “Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham”, which collected over ₹20 crore on its debut day in 2021. However, Empuraan has completely eclipsed this record, proving the massive anticipation surrounding Mohanlal’s return as Khureshi Abraam. With first-weekend presales already crossing ₹80 crore, the film is on track to deliver one of the biggest openings ever for an Indian film.

Set for a grand worldwide release on March 27, 2025, Empuraan marks the second installment in the “Lucifer” franchise. Backed by a powerhouse cast and a high-octane storyline, the film promises a cinematic spectacle like never before. With extraordinary advance bookings and sky-high expectations, Empuraan is all set to redefine box office history.
