Mumbai, March 27, 2025 – The much-awaited film ‘Empuraan’ is off to a phenomenal start, amassing a staggering ₹58 crore in advance bookings ahead of its March 30, 2025 release. With this, the film is poised for a record-breaking opening, setting new benchmarks for the Indian film industry.
Starring Mohanlal and directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, Empuraan serves as a sequel to the 2019 blockbuster ‘Lucifer’, which was a massive success. The buzz surrounding the film has reached an all-time high, with fans eagerly awaiting its theatrical debut.
Trade analysts predict that Empuraan could surpass ₹100 crore within its opening weekend, given the unprecedented demand for tickets. The film has seen strong pre-sales in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and overseas markets, with major multiplex chains reporting near-full occupancy for the first few days.
“This is one of the biggest advance booking figures for an Indian film in recent years,” said a leading trade expert. “The combination of Mohanlal’s star power, Prithviraj’s direction, and the legacy of ‘Lucifer’ has created the perfect storm for a record-smashing debut.”
Produced by Aashirvad Cinemas, Empuraan is expected to be a high-octane action thriller that expands on the political intrigue and power struggles introduced in the first film. With top-tier production values, a gripping storyline, and a massive fan following, industry insiders believe the film could become one of the highest-grossing Indian films of 2025.
