The much-anticipated Mohanlal-starrer, 'L2: Empuraan', directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, opened to enthusiastic audience reactions and polarized debates surrounding its political narrative.

Criticism flared over the film's portrayal of right-wing politics, with the Sangh Parivar vocalizing opposition on social media, while Congress and leftist platforms lauded its controversial stance.
