L2: Empuraan has been produced under the banners of Aashirvad Cinemas, Sree Gokulam Movies, and Lyca Productions.
In his review for NDTV, Saibal Chatterjee gave the film 2.5 stars out of 5.
He wrote, “The second part of a planned trilogy that began with the 2019 hit Lucifer, this Prithviraj Sukumaran-directed potboiler mixes up its visceral chops, ultra-violent spirals into excess and visual pizzazz with all-out attempts to show up forces that are out to destabilise Kerala in a fictional world that intermittently mirrors the real one in which those in authority lay down the rules to suit their immediate agendas.”
