Dies Irae Movie Review, Collection Live Updates: Malayalam horror film Dies Irae, starring Pranav Mohanlal in the lead role, has hit theatres. The film, which also features Jibin Gopinath, Arun Ajikumar, and Manohari Joy, is written and directed by Rahul Sadasivan, best known for his acclaimed horror films Bhoothakaalam and Bramayugam.
Produced by Chakravarthy Ramachandra and S Sashikanth under the banners of Night Shift Studios and YNOT Studios, Dies Irae held paid premieres on Thursday night. According to early reviews, the film stands out for its strong technical craft. A film buff wrote on social media, “Watch Dies Irae (preferably a late-night show) for the incredible effort from the sound department, the effective old-school horror tropes, and the eerie atmospheric background score that leaves you still, stiff, and immersed with bated breath. Once you get over the strained dialogue delivery, the movie is sure to reel you in. It’s been a while since I last watched a movie where the entire hall had this collective palpable anxious energy with both deafening silence and nervous laughter!”
Dies Irae follows “Rohan (Pranav Mohanlal), whose affluent lifestyle spirals out of control as he becomes convinced there is a supernatural entity in his home. As he starts to uncover the mystery, he is drawn into unexpected worlds and alliances, along with the horrors that lie ahead.”
According to trade tracker Sacnilk, Pranav Mohanlal-starrer Dies Irae has earned Rs 2.49 crore as of 9 pm on Friday.

@rahool360 posted on X, "#diesirae - A wonderful horror movie with a weak ending. I had huge expectations for this movie it almost made me satisfied until the last 15 mins, which for me was not great. Liking this movie will depend on how you take that climax. It has a terrific 1st half, and a pretty good 2nd half until the climax. Superb work from the technical team, staging by Rahul really works. Atmos mix was really good, great music and nice frames adds to the immersive experience. Try to catch in a PLF screen like #pxl #kochi or #epiq #kozhikode if possible."
