Even a week after its release, ‘Empuraan’ continues to draw packed audiences to theatres. Producer and theatre owner Liberty Basheer remarked that in his 40-year career, he has never seen such an overwhelming response.
“In my four decades in the film exhibition business, this is the first time that all seven of my theatres have had housefull shows for five consecutive days. Bookings for the coming week are also filling up fast. This is an unprecedented phenomenon. The success of ‘Empuraan’ is also a strong response to those who criticise films like these in Malayalam cinema,” said Liberty Basheer.

Meanwhile, ‘Empuraan’ has crossed the Rs 200 crore mark in global collections. In Kerala alone, the film raked in Rs 50 crore within just four days, making it the fastest Malayalam film to achieve this milestone.
