L2 Empuraan review by Hindustan Times
The Hindustan Times review of the film read, “Empuraan’s essence is very Telugu and Tamil. It almost seems like an Atlee or Sukumar film with a Prasanth Neel filter added. The crudeness is also very un-Malayalam. The films from Mollywood are known for their realism. And yes, at times, they can get uncomfortable when they touch sensitive issues.”
“But the unpalatable violence of Empuraan is not sensitive. It is visceral and crude, dehumanising almost, and certainly titillating. That is the aspect that robs the film of its roots. It is a brave attempt at taking Malayalam films pan-India and global. But let’s face it: in its treatment and execution, Empuraan is anything but Malayalam. It is closer to a Salaar than to an Aavesham,” it added.
