Industry Expectations
Film trade analyst Sreedhar Pillai remarked, “The Empuraan teaser suggests a pan-Indian appeal. With Mohanlal’s star power and the goodwill from Lucifer, this could be one of the biggest releases of the year.”
The film is expected to release in multiple languages to cater to a wider audience across India.
As anticipation builds, “Empuraan” seems poised to make a significant impact when it hits theaters later this year, potentially setting new benchmarks for Malayalam cinema.
