Empuraan Bookings Skyrocket: Is This a Record or a Glitch?
Mohanlal & Prithviraj’s Empuraan Creates a Booking Frenzy
The highly anticipated sequel to Lucifer, titled Empuraan, is set for a grand pan-India release on the 27th of this month. This marks the second collaboration between Mohanlal and Prithviraj Sukumaran, raising expectations sky-high.
Surprisingly, even though there’s still a week left before release, Empuraan has already shattered pre-sales records, achieving the highest hourly ticket sales in Indian cinema history on BookMyShow.
Pre-Sales Surge: 96K Tickets Per Hour!
In just one hour, Empuraan’s ticket sales skyrocketed from 70K to 96.14K per hour. The film’s advance bookings are now open on:
- BookMyShow
- Paytm
- District
- TicketNew
However, the numbers on BookMyShow have left everyone stunned, with fans and trade experts in disbelief over the unprecedented surge.
Did the Trailer Boost the Hype?
Before the trailer launch yesterday, Empuraan was not making much buzz outside the Malayalam industry. Even after its release, the hype didn’t escalate dramatically.
Yet, today’s advance booking figures tell a completely different story. Fans and trade analysts are now wondering whether this sudden surge is:
- A genuine demand-driven trend
- Or a technical glitch inflating the numbers
Prithviraj Reacts to the Record-Breaking Sales
Director Prithviraj Sukumaran himself tweeted about Empuraan’s 96K per hour sales milestone, acknowledging the incredible response.
The big question remains—will this momentum sustain until release or will it slow down?
Star Support and External Factors Driving the Film
One factor that could be boosting pre-sales is the endorsement from big stars across industries:
- Superstar Rajinikanth publicly appreciated the film’s trailer, amplifying its reach.
- Prithviraj’s role in SSMB29 is also helping Empuraan gain traction among Telugu audiences.
These endorsements are expanding the film’s appeal beyond the Malayalam industry.
Will Empuraan Be a Massive Blockbuster?
If the current booking trend continues, Empuraan could become a massive box-office success. However, whether this record-breaking streak is real or a system error remains to be seen.
With just days to go for the big release, all eyes are now on whether Empuraan will live up to the hype or fizzle out.
