L2: Empuraan Twitter reviews

L2 Empuraan Twitter reviews: Mohanlal and Prithviraj Sukumaran in a still from the film.

On X, a fan wrote, "Well-paced stylish entertainer with fanboy moments. The storyline is baked in drama, politics, and current affairs. Bang on entry for Mohanlal after an hour with peak commercial elevation. Hollywood-level visuals & stunts." A tweet read, “Empuraan Good One. Lal saab’s intro and jungle fight scene were peak cinematic experiences.”

Fans love Mohanlal's scenes, surprise cameo in film

"I felt I was watching an English film for the most part, which is an achievement. It was well written by Murali Gopy and was astoundingly made by @PrithviOfficial. Special mention for the opening stretch. Really glad to see amazing moments for @ManjuWarrier4. Overall, it was very good work, Empuraan Mohanlal," wrote a person.

A fan reviewed the first and second halved individually, "Empuraan first half--production value and scale was of fire, easily feels like the biggest film made in India and BGM elevates the scenes. Empuraan second half--the forest fight was perfect, the visual elevations BGM were all top-notch, the writing could have been better, and the natural elevations were missing. Overall great theatre experience." "If it wasn’t for all the expectations, this would have been an absolute blockbuster movie. Still a very good one. Watch it!" said another person.

Internet ‘highly disappointed’ with L2: Empuraan

"I don't why they went into this typical revenge story into a great world of characters set in Lucifer. I wished Prithviraj had focused more on other exciting parts rather than this," read a comment. "Empuraan positives--Mohanlal screen presence, surprise cameo, and few Manju Warrier political scenes are good. Empuraan negatives--Length could have been trimmed, but Malayalam nativity was missed (mostly English and Hindi). Overall--a mass entertainer with Hollywood standard making," wrote another person.

"@PrithviOfficial strikes back with his usual stunt of favourite shots being out of focus and uses them anyway in the final cut. Empuraan is truly miles ahead in technical richness across most industries here," tweeted a fan. "Empuraan had all the chances to be a benchmark film but failed miserably with poor writing. Even the stylised making of Prithvi wasn't enough for the rescue. An industry-hyped film getting minimal clap-worthy moments itself underlines the fate of the film," read a tweet.

"Empuraan - highly disappointed--didn’t expect this kind of a film at all," said a person who watched the film. "Empuraan started very well but later lost the plot and ended up as an average one. Empuraan's first half is pretty average. I felt bored in most of the places. I hope the send half should stand tall; otherwise, it will be difficult," tweeted an X user.
