Backed by solid pre-sales, it raked in a huge 75 crore gross (including premieres) on day 1. After a sensational start, the magnum opus witnessed a big drop, but still, it has earned enough to be the highest-grossing Indian film of 2025 in the overseas market.

However, due to mixed word-of-mouth, its run has been impacted. Still, in 9 days, it has amassed a huge 168.5 crore gross. With this, it surpassed Saiyaara (161 crore gross) to become the highest-grossing Indian film at the overseas box office.<\/p>\n<p>Mohanlal dominates the list of top 5 overseas grossers<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After Coolie and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/bollywood-movies\/movie-reviews\/saiyaara-movie-review-ahaan-panday-aneet-padda-shine-in-this-la-la-land-love-story-where-story-gets-lost-in-loopholes\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Saiyaara<\/a>, L2: Empuraan is standing in the third position with a collection of 142.25 crore gross.
