L2: Empuraan

"Overall, L2: Empuraan is a world-class production from Mollywood that we can proudly showcase to an international audience. Despite its shortcomings, the film remains an enjoyable experience, boasting technical brilliance on par with global standards. While it lives up to the hype in terms of execution, the plot is weak at times, and certain moments may feel dull."

"A mass entertainer needs massy dialogues; this is a big miss in the movie. Empuraan doesn't quite match the punch of Lucifer."

"While Prithviraj Sukumaran's directorial sequel is visually ambitious with strong technical execution, the writing struggles to maintain dramatic tension as the narrative progresses, ultimately reducing complex political and communal dimensions to a simplistic tale of power-hungry politicians."

"Despite its ambitious scale, L2: Empuraan struggles to match the impact of its predecessor but remains an intriguing watch for fans of Lucifer. The sequel falters slightly due to overambition and excessive heroism, veering off track at times."

"Prithviraj Sukumaran's 180-minute magnum opus not only sails on a national panorama but also fails to muster sufficient positive appraisal from the critics. The film falters here and at many other places. Not enough for a Mohanlal-Prithvi film."
