Pranav
Mohanlal’s
Horror
Thriller
Directed
By
Rahul
Sadasivan
The
film’s
plot
centers
on
Rohan
Shankar
(played
by
Pranav
Mohanlal),
the
son
of
an
Indian-American
architect
whose
seemingly
comfortable
life
unravels
after
he
reconnects
with
Kani
(Sushmita
Bhat),
a
Bharatanatyam
dancer
who
dies
under
mysterious
circumstances.
His
visit
to
her
home
sets
off
a
chain
of
haunting
events
that
draw
him
toward
Madhusudanan
Potti
(Gibin
Gopinath),
an
occult
practitioner.
As
Rohan
delves
deeper
into
Kani’s
past,
he
confronts
a
disturbing
web
of
ritual,
revenge,
and
the
supernatural.
The
ensemble
cast
also
includes
Manohari
Joy,
Jaya
Kurup,
and
Arun
Ajikumar.
The
film’s
technical
crew
features
Shehnad
Jalal
as
cinematographer,
Shafique
Mohamed
Ali
as
editor,
and
Christo
Xavier
as
music
composer.
Sound
design
is
handled
by
Jayadevan
Chakkadath,
with
color
grading
by
Liju
Prabhakar
and
VFX
by
Digibricks.
Dies
Irae
has
been
distributed
in
Kerala
by
E4
Experiments,
with
Think
Studios
managing
the
all-India
release
and
Home
Screen
Entertainment
handling
overseas
distribution.
With
Sunday
marking
its
third
day
in
theaters,
trade
observers
are
watching
how
Dies
Irae
performs
through
the
evening
and
night
shows.
The
film’s
weekend
trajectory
suggests
that
it
may
emerge
as
one
of
the
stronger
Malayalam
openers
of
2025,
particularly
in
the
horror
genre.
While
official
box
office
numbers
are
yet
to
be
released,
early
indications
suggest
that
Dies
Irae
is
set
for
a
healthy
weekend
close,
positioning
it
well
as
it
moves
into
the
weekdays.
