Lucifer,
starring
Mohanlal
in
the
lead
role
and
directed
by
Prithviraj
Sukumaran,
is
a
film
that
has
had
a
fabulous
tryst
with
records.
The
blockbuster
movie,
which
hit
theatres
on
March
28,
2019,
did
set
the
cash
registers
ringing
and
the
film
had
performed
extremely
well
in
the
overseas
centres
as
well.
The
list
of
the
top-grossing
Indian
movies
of
2019
at
the
UAE/GCC
box
office
is
out,
and
it
is
Lucifer
that
is
sitting
pretty
at
the
first
spot!
Importantly,
2019
witnessed
the
arrival
of
a
whole
lot
of
biggies
including
Lucifer
and
the
Mohanlal
starrer
has
overtaken
all
of
them
to
remain
at
the
top
spot.
Before
Lucifer's
arrival,
the
record
was
held
by
the
Rajinikanth
starrer
Petta,
and
Lucifer
went
on
to
overtake
the
collections
within
a
few
days.
Later,
Bollywood
movies
like
Saaho,
Dabangg
3,
etc.,
failed
to
topple
Lucifer
from
the
top
spot.
Vijay's
blockbuster
movie
Bigil,
which
reportedly
grossed
over
Rs
300
crore
couldn't
overtake
Lucifer
at
the
UAE/GCC
box
office.
Even
the
blockbuster
movie
War,
which
emerged
as
the
top-grossing
Indian
movie
of
the
year
couldn't
break
Lucifer's
record
at
the
UAE/GCC
box
office.
Well,
it
is
indeed
a
big
achievement
for
the
Lucifer,
which
was
one
among
the
most-anticipated
movies
of
the
year.
Moreover,
Lucifer
is
also
the
top-grossing
Malayalam
movie
of
all-time
at
the
UAE/GCC
box
office.
The
film
had
a
solid
run
in
theatres
and
reportedly,
went
on
to
join
the
coveted
Rs
200-crore
club.
It
also
emerged
as
the
first-ever
Malayalam
movie
to
join
the
elite
club.
Meanwhile,
a
sequel
to
Lucifer
is
also
in
the
pipeline
and
the
announcement
regarding
the
same
was
made
a
few
months
ago.
Titled
Empuran,
the
film
will
be
made
with
the
same
team.
Reportedly,
this
will
be
the
second
directorial
venture
of
Prithviraj
Sukumaran.
Further
updates
regarding
the
highly-awaited
project
are
being
awaited.
