Directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, L2 Empuraan stormed a massive figure of Rs 145 crore gross in the international territories in its entire run. It is more than the lifetime global box office cume of several big Malayalam hits including- Premalu and Lucifer. L2 Empuraan's overseas cume remained slightly behind the worldwide box office collections of Pulimurugan, Aavesham, and Aadujeevitham: The Goat Life. 

Bankrolled by Aashirvad Cinemas, L2 Empuraan performed best in UAE, being the undisputed fort of Mohanlal. It grossed over USD 6.27 million at the UAE box office, followed by USD 2.70 million in North America, USD 2.35 million in GCC, and USD 1.09 million in Saudi Arabia, among other markets. 

The Lalettan starrer political drama registered around 1.45 million admissions in the foreign territories in its entire run. The movie debuted with a historic opening of USD 5.15 million overseas, beating every Indian movie, including Bollywood biggies. It stood tall and emerged as the first ever Malayalam movie to gross over USD 9 million to USD 16 million in the international markets, by a huge margin.
