L2 Empuraan Movie Story:
Lucifer Part 1 is a bit of a continuation. After Stephen Nedumpally (Mohanlal) disappears, the Kerala CM Jatin Ramdas (Tovino Thomas), who was installed by Stephen, becomes a corrupt person and is ready to join hands with a national party, not following his father's aspirations. Jatin's sister, Priya (Manju Warrier) opposes him and stands up for her father's aspirations. Due to this, some people want to kill Priya.
On the other hand, the UK intelligence is looking to kill Abram Qureshi (Mohanlal). Knowing that he is coming to a certain place, they assign the mission to kill him to Agent Menhun (Andrea Tiwari). Menhun also wants to kill Abram Qureshi for killing his fellow agent friend.
And did Abram Qureshi get killed? Who saved Priya? Is Stephen Nedumpalli back? Why did Jatin Ramdas's father leave the party? To know the story of Zaid Masood (Prithviraj Sukumaran), who is close to Abram Qureshi, you have to watch it on screen.
L2 Empuraan Movie Analysis:
A big man like a don.. Leaving aside flashbacks and living a simple life, many films have come and become hits in all industries, including languages. In the same vein, Lucifer came in 2019 with a bit of political drama added to it and it became a big hit. Since it was called a sequel, expectations were high on Lucifer 2.
Since it was well received in all languages, Prithviraj Sukumaran made and released this movie at the Pan India level. However, Prithviraj also made the same mistake that some people have been making recently. In the Pan India craze, he left the original story and weaved another story around it and tried to connect it to the international and national levels.
If everyone came to see this movie to see how Stephen Abram Qureshi became, they left it and showed Abram Qureshi four elevations, Kerala state politics, religious conflicts, and the story of Zaid Masood. Except for some elevations for Mohanlal, there is no real story in the movie. The audience is disappointed that the twist given at the end of the movie is not all about Mohanlal.
It is known that sometimes movies are made against or in support of political parties. This L2: Empuraan movie seems to be shown against a party by keeping Kerala politics in mind and supporting some parties there. The Gujarat riots, which have nothing to do with the original Lucifer story, have been inserted into the story. It also seems to have been changed to suit their story.
One wonders whether the censor board has cut some scenes and dialogues. It is noteworthy that they gave the lead to another sequel by saying that they will show how Stephen Abram Qureshi, whom everyone expected, will be shown in Part 3. If that story is not shown even then, then another sequel is unnecessary.
Actors Performance:
Malayalam star Mohanlal is a great actor, but he did not work hard in this film except for elevation shots. Prithviraj Sukumaran also appears briefly and seems okay. Manju Warrier acted well as a politician. Tovino Thomas appears here and there in the role of the CM.
Abhimanyu Singh impressed in negative shades in the role of Baba Bajrang. Tollywood child artist Karthikeya Dev, who appeared briefly, acted well. Many of the characters in Part 1 continue in this one as well. The rest of the actors impressed in their roles.
Technical Aspects:
Although the story is not strong in the movie, it is technically perfect. The cinematography visuals are amazing. The cinematic shots in the elevations and action scenes are wow. The background music is also amazing. The only song that exists, the background song, is average. In terms of the story, many countries have been shown and good locations have been shown.
The locations are to be commended. Although they added another story to continue the story of Lucifer and left the original story, the screenplay has been written very strongly. Hero Prithviraj Sukumaran has once again given his best as a director. In terms of production, however, they have spent a lot on the movie. It has become a well-spent movie in Malayalam cinema.
Overall, the movie L2: Empuraan, which came as a sequel to Lucifer, tried to add a little story to the original story and show it with a new screenplay.
Rating: 2.75
