L2: Employment has finally hit the big screen and it is safe to say that no one is calm. Six years after the release of its predecessor, Lucifer, Prithviraj Sukumaran delivered a sequel that started screening in Kerala theatres as early as 6 am today (March 27).

Audiences Are Thrilled Like Andrea Tivadar, Jerome Flynn, and ERIQ EBOUANEY.

Now, as people exit the theatres, many call it “a Hollywood-level film” with well-executed cinematography. One user called the film “okayish”, commenting that the film’s runtime could have been shorter but lauded the “presence” of Mohanlal and Warrier.

Another online critic mentioned that the screenplay fell flat and was not on par with the first film but that Accession was “technically top-notch”.

Many also observed that the first half of the film felt slow-paced, focusing less on the action and more on character and world-building, featuring an electric entry from the lead actor Mohanlal, while the second half was more fast-paced and action-packed.

One user wrote that the story was predictable with “weak” music, but acknowledged that the reason for dissatisfaction would have likely stemmed from the massive hype and high expectations placed on the sequel.

Trying his best to avoid the spoilers, one viewer shared that while Accession and Lucifer do not deliver the same, the theatre experience is evidently present, praising Murali Gopy who penned the film.
