Performances:
Mohanlal does not have much substantial scope to show his acting skills. His presence captivates and enriches the movie. Prithviraj Sukumaran maintains his performance in the first part and does well. Abhimanyu Singh performed adequately, while Tovino Thomas shined in some scenes. Manju Warrier impresses in a vital episode, whereas Indrajeet Sukumaran and Sooraj Venjaramoodu don't get enough attention.

What worked for the film:
Prithviraj Sukumaran showcases L2: Empuraan with extraordinary scale and execution. The film excels in visuals, grand action scenes, and Mohanlal's powerful presence. Visually, the film impresses. The scenes featuring Mohanlal's introduction, church fight, forest combat, and two political addresses in the second half are superb.

What does not work for the film:
Empuraan's story intrigues, but the narration feels shallow. The movie prioritizes character arcs instead of a captivating narrative, but even those characters are underdeveloped and do not have the required impact.
The film's excessive length and sluggish tempo impede its flow, leading to a decline after an initial strong start in the second half. Tovino Thomas's role doesn't blend well with the narrative and ends unexpectedly. Zayed Masood's intense backstory unfolds early on, but the resolution at the end feels rather predictable. The climax misses the mark, failing to generate interest in the third part of Lucifer.

Empuraan Review and Verdict:
Though slow, Empuraan's first half creates anticipation with some well-placed highs, impressive visuals, and an intriguing interval block. However, the second half, which starts on a firm note, falters with weak narration and repetitive elevations with not so strong backup.
