Empuraan Story

Empuraan has Abhimanyu Singh, Tovino Thomas, Manju Warrier and others in the cast. Directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, the film continues the saga of Stephen Nedumpally, alias Khureshi Ab'raam (Mohanlal), as he navigates political turmoil and global conflicts. The narrative unfolds with Kerala Chief Minister Jathin Ramdas (Tovino Thomas) deciding to part ways with his party and align with the powerful Baba Bajrangi (Abhimanyu Singh), now known as Balaraj. His sister, Priyadarshini Ramdas (Manju Warrier), stands against this decision.

Meanwhile, Stephen Nedumpally resurfaces, entangled not only in Kerala's politics but also in a dangerous rivalry with the drug cartel Kabooga. The film meticulously builds on these conflicts while exploring the deeper connections between Balaraj and Zayed Masood (Prithviraj Sukumaran).

Review & Controversy

Upon its release, the movie ran into a controversy over the alleged depiction of the Hindu-Muslim riots with the right-wing groups coming down heavily on the movie. The controversy forced the makers to chop scenes. It has to be seen whether the original version will be streamed or the modified version.

The mass elements and Mohanlal along with Prithviraj's performances, got good response from the fans. Overall, it has turned out to be a milestone movie in their career.

As per the trade reports, the movie made a net business of Rs 105 crore in India, with the Malayalam version minting over Rs 95 crore.
