Empuraan First Half Review: Mohanlal’s Entry and Peak Interval Block Win Over Fans on Twitter

The wait is over as L2: Empuraan, the highly anticipated sequel to Lucifer, finally hit theatres today. Directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran and starring Mohanlal, the film has taken over Twitter with its first-half reviews, and the early word is largely positive.

Fans Call Mohanlal’s Entry “Goosebumps-Inducing”

Viewers who watched the First Day First Show (FDFS) couldn’t stop praising Mohanlal’s grand entry, which reportedly takes place after a 50-minute build-up. One Twitter user wrote:

“#EmpuraanReview: First half of Empuraan keeps you hooked & raises curiosity levels. Once Lalettan makes his entry, it’s SHEER ELEVATION WITH TOP NOTCH VISUALS. Interval block – PEAK CINEMA GOOSEBUMPS. First Half Rating: 3.15/5.”

Another called the interval scene “Extraordinary” and praised the story build-up:

“A light storytelling in the first half, Extraordinary Interval, Exceptional Second half with Outstanding Climax – Surprising Post Credit.”

Mixed Reactions on Pacing, But Visuals Applauded

While most reviews leaned positive, a few highlighted the slow build-up and limited screen time for Mohanlal in the early portions. Movie analyst Christopher Kanagaraj tweeted:

“Need to wait patiently for 50 mins to see Lalettan’s entry. And he got only 3 scenes. Most dialogues are in Hindi & English. International level visuals & stunts. Other than fantastic making, it’s totally mediocre.”

Another viewer shared a more balanced view:

“First Half – Okay so far. Similar to its previous part, the movie takes its time to build up. Mohanlal’s entry and the interval block are quite impressive. Overall, it’s been okay so far, but hasn’t quite lived up to the hype yet.”

Technical Aspects and Direction Praised

“#L2Empuraan Review FIRST HALF: Good & Engaging. #Mohanlal shines. The story is built well. Each and every star cast are terrific till now. BGM & technical aspects superb. Direction going well. Interval – Fire.”

From early reviews, it’s clear that empuraan has made a solid first impression, especially with its interval block, cinematic visuals, and Mohanlal’s much-awaited entry. While a few viewers noted a slow start, the emotional payoff and grand staging appear to have kept audiences engaged.

As more audiences experience the film today, expectations are now sky-high for the second half. If the momentum continues, L2: Empuraan may not just live up to the hype—it could surpass it.
