Mohanlal's Drishyam 3 Pulls Off A Historical Business Deal With Panorama Studios

Dies Irae Review Pranav Mohanlal Delivers His Career Best in a Chilling Malayalam Horror

Malayalam cinema continues its exciting horror streak, and Dies Irae arrives right on cue — atmospheric, unsettling, and technically sharp. Directed by Rahul Sadasivan, the film marks a powerful step forward for Pranav Mohanlal, headlining what feels like a genre milestone for Mollywood horror. The title itself, “Dies Irae,” comes from Latin meaning “Day of Wrath” — famously known as a medieval hymn sung in the Mass for the dead. It sets the tone for what the film aims to be: ominous, intense and rooted in psychological dread. Dies Irae isn’t built on jump scares — it leans into mood, paranoia and emotional unease. Pranav Mohanlal plays a character caught in a spiraling psychological trap — is it grief, guilt, a haunting presence, or something far more primal and supernatural? Instead of loud horror beats, the film lingers, unsettles and stays with you long after the credits roll. Rahul Sadasivan has quietly become one of Malayalam cinema’s most dependable voices in horror. With films like Bhoothakaalam, a critically acclaimed psychological chiller, and Bramayugam, an experimental black-and-white folk-horror led by Mammootty that earned both critical praise and box-office success, he has shown that Malayalam horror can be mature, atmospheric and emotionally grounded. Dies Irae feels like a natural extension of that journey — taking his signature mood-driven style forward with even more intention and confidence. Early audience response has been overwhelmingly positive, with viewers praising the film’s immersive sound design and technical polish. Pranav Mohanlal’s performance is being highlighted as intense, controlled and arguably his career-best, while many appreciated how the film sustains tension without relying on cheap thrills. First-show reactions call Dies Irae “technically outstanding,” “edge-of-the-seat,” and “bold filmmaking that deserves a theatrical watch,” with particular applause for its soundscape and mixing — elements that several viewers felt elevate the horror to an international standard. Dies Irae isn’t your typical horror entertainer — it’s atmospheric, patient, tastefully crafted and deeply unsettling, the kind of film that rewards attention and truly demands a big-screen experience. Pranav Mohanlal delivers his most mature performance yet, anchoring the story with quiet intensity, while Rahul Sadasivan further strengthens his position as one of the most compelling horror voices in Indian cinema today. Overall, the film stands as a worthy addition to Malayalam cinema’s evolving and increasingly confident horror legacy.

Vrusshabha Box Office Collection: Mohanlal's Pan India Actioner Ends as a Colossal Disaster

Despite being mounted as a massive Pan India spectacle starring Mollywood legend Mohanlal, Vrusshabha has failed to find an audience. Released in multiple languages, the film struggled to even cross the starting line across most territories, ending its first week with shockingly low numbers. Marketed as a multi language spectacle in Malayalam, Telugu, Hindi, and Kannada, the film struggled across all territories. Weak writing, poor visual effects, and lack of promotional buzz resulted in embarrassingly low numbers, making it one of the biggest commercial failures of 2025. Vrusshabha Total Box Office Collection Summary (7 Days) Category Collection (Approx) India Net Collection ₹ 1.64 Cr India Gross Collection ₹ 1.91 Cr Overseas Collection ₹ 0.25 Cr Worldwide Collection ₹ 2.16 Cr Verdict Disaster Until the release of Vrusshabha, 2025 was shaping up to be one of the most successful years in Mohanlal's storied career. He had delivered a rare hat-trick of blockbusters: the massive action spectacle L2: Empuraan (₹ 266.81 Cr worldwide), the crime thriller Thudarum (₹ 235.38 Cr worldwide), and the family drama Hridayapoorvam ( ₹ 76.25 Cr worldwide). Collectively, these three films grossed over ₹600 Cr, reaffirming his status as the ultimate box office draw. Vrusshabha, however, has brought this golden run to a screeching halt.With a worldwide gross of just ₹2.16 Cr in its first week, the film failed to recover even 3% of its reported ₹70 Cr budget, marking a rare and massive commercial dent in his recent track record. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Timing played a crucial role in Vrusshabha's collapse. The film was released at the height of the Dhurandhar phenomenon, a Hindi blockbuster that was recording historic double digit collections for nearly 30 consecutive days. While Dhurandhar dominated the Pan India audience, the local Malayalam market was also split by Nivin Pauly's horror-comedy Sarvam Maya. Unlike Vrusshabha, which struggled to hit the ₹1 Cr mark on its opening day, Sarvam Maya enjoyed strong word-of-mouth and a healthy opening of ₹3.35 Cr, eventually grossing over ₹65 Cr worldwide. Caught between a global juggernaut and a local favorite, Vrusshabha found itself with almost no theatrical oxygen. Vrusshabha is an ambitious reincarnation epic spanning centuries, following Mohanlal as King Vijayendra Vrusshabha in an ancient timeline where a generational curse pits him against his own son. The conflict carries over to the modern day, where he is reborn as businessman Aadi Deva Varma (reunited with his son, played by Samarjit Lankesh). Directed by Kannada filmmaker Nanda Kishore (Pogaru, Victory), this was intended to be a massive Pan-India gamble. However, the transition into fantasy heavy storytelling failed to resonate; Audience noted that the director's vision was marred by dated execution and distracting AI driven visual effects, ultimately failing to balance its mythological roots with modern-day sensibilities.
