L2: Empuraan X Review – A Spectacular Second Half Steals the Show
As soon as the first shows ended, moviegoers flooded social media platform X with their reviews. Many viewers noted that while the first half started at a slow pace, the second half delivered intense action and gripping storytelling, making it a must-watch.
A user named Gabbafied shared:
🗣️ “#Empuraan movie review: Starts slow with international-standard visuals. Dialogues are mostly in English and Hindi. But once #Mohanlal enters, the film picks up with a banger interval—the best for a Malayalam movie! The second half is a full-on Lalettan show with #PrithvirajSukumaran’s touch, especially in the fight scenes. Making-wise, this is the #KGF2 of Mollywood. Another blockbuster from @Mohanlal ~ @PrithviOfficial combo. Worth watching in theaters!”
Another fan, Messi Gaadu, commented:
🎬 “L2: Empuraan – Decent 1st half, a bit lengthy. Expecting a powerful 2nd half to make it a blockbuster. The movie’s major highlights are its BGM and cinematography. Kudos to @Cinemark for the best sound experience for Indian movies.”
Meanwhile, Jassel Mohammad wrote:
🔥 “#Empuraan delivers an international masala mix from Prithvi with a terrific second half! Mohanlal shines in both roles. The film is packed with exciting moments, Lucifer references, and a thrilling tail-end setting up #L3 The Beginning!”
