L2: Empuraan, starring Mohanlal and Prithviraj Sukumaran, has finally hit theatres, and fans are showering it with appreciation. Shortly after its release, a viewer shared their review on X, describing their experience with the film.
According to the viewer, the first half of the film progresses at a slow pace but gains momentum after the interval. They described the movie as “worth watching” and highlighted Mohanlal’s on-screen chemistry with Prithviraj as one of its strengths.
The viewer noted that the film opens with a slow pace, featuring visuals of international standards, with dialogues primarily in English and Hindi. However, they observed that the narrative picks up speed once Mohanlal makes his entry, leading to a gripping interval sequence, which they considered one of the best in Malayalam cinema. The second half, they mentioned, is largely dominated by Mohanlal’s performance, complemented by Prithviraj’s directorial style, with the action sequences being a particular highlight.

Prithviraj further mentioned that he would have no objections if audiences chose to watch L2: Empuraan in the morning and Sikandar in the afternoon.
