The final theatrical figures are a testament to its wide acceptance across the globe. The movie registered an India Net Collection of ₹ 41.21 Cr and an India Gross Collection of ₹ 48.6 Cr. The film performed exceptionally well internationally with an Overseas Collection of ₹ 33.4 Cr taking the total Worldwide Collection to a massive ₹ 82 Cr. These numbers have solidified its status as a blockbuster particularly profitable given the controlled budget typical of the genre. Dies Irae marks the first collaboration between director Rahul Sadasivan and Pranav Mohanlal creating a fresh and exciting dynamic for the industry. Rahul Sadasivan has effectively created a horror trilogy of sorts following his critically acclaimed Bhoothakaalam and the black-and-white period horror Bramayugam. For Pranav Mohanlal this role is a massive departure from his boy-next-door or romantic hero image established in his previous hits like Hridayam and the nostalgic Varshangalkku Shesham. In this film audiences see a stripped-down intense and vulnerable side of Pranav shedding his feel-good persona to embody fear and paranoia. The film has performed exceptionally well when compared to other recent films in the mystery and horror genre in the Malayalam industry. Here is how it compares to its peers: Dies Irae (2025): Genre: Horror Thriller ||Budget:₹ 24 Cr | Worldwide Collection: ₹ 82 Cr | Verdict: Blockbuster Bramayugam (2024): Genre: Period Horror |Budget:₹ 27.73 Cr |Worldwide Collection: Approx ₹ 58.2 Cr | Verdict: Hit Kishkindha Kaandam (2024): Genre: Mystery Thriller | |Budget: ₹ 7 Cr |Worldwide Collection: Approx ₹ 76.9 Cr | Verdict: All-Time Blockbuster. Catch the spine-chilling experience of Dies Irae exclusively on JioHotstar starting December 5. If you missed the immersive sound design in theaters headphones are highly recommended for the OTT premiere to fully experience the wrath of the narrative.
