Kochi, November 1 - Director Rahul Sadasivan, known for his acclaimed horror thrillers Bhoothakaalam and Bramayugam, has struck again with his latest horror film, Dies Irae, starring Pranav Mohanlal. The movie has opened to glowing reviews from both critics and audiences, marking another big win for Malayalam cinema in 2025.

Dies Irae had its premiere on October 30, earning approximately 1 crore domestically through limited shows. The film expanded widely on Friday and witnessed an excellent response at the box office. As per early estimates, it collected around 4.50 crore on its first full day, taking the total domestic gross to roughly 5.50 crore.

The film's opening marks the third biggest of 2025 for a Malayalam title, behind only L2: Empuraan and Thudarum, and also stands as the biggest-ever debut for an A-rated Malayalam film. Within Kerala, Dies Irae grossed approximately 4.75 crore, the fourth highest first-day gross of the year, while the rest of India contributed about 80 lakh.

The worldwide opening of the film is over 10 crores, making it the 15th Malayalam film of all time and the third of 2025 to do so. With positive word of mouth, the movie is expected to have an excellent opening weekend. This also marks the first double-digit opening for a Malayalam adult-rated (18+) film.
