L2 Empuraan review by Hindustan Times

The essence of "L2 Empuraan" is distinctly rooted in Telugu and Tamil cultures. It evokes the style of filmmakers like Atlee or Sukumar, enhanced by a Prasanth Neel influence. The rawness present in the film diverges from the typical characteristics of Malayalam cinema, which is often celebrated for its realism. While Mollywood films can sometimes delve into uncomfortable themes, they usually do so with a sense of sensitivity.

However, the graphic violence depicted in "L2 Empuraan" lacks this sensitivity. It is raw and brutal, bordering on dehumanizing, and undeniably provocative. This element detracts from the film's cultural authenticity. Although it represents a bold effort to expand Malayalam cinema's reach both nationally and internationally, it ultimately strays from traditional Malayalam storytelling. In terms of style and execution, "L2 Empuraan" aligns more closely with "Salaar" than with "Aavesham."
