Dies Irae OTT Release: Pranav Mohanlal's Horror Blockbuster Premieres on JioHotstar this December 5

The wait is finally over for horror aficionados and Malayalam cinema lovers. After a chilling and successful theatrical run that began on Halloween, the Pranav Mohanlal starrer Dies Irae is all set to haunt screens comfortably at home. The film will start streaming on JioHotstar from December 5, 2025. Directed by the modern master of Malayalam horror Rahul Sadasivan, the film has been praised for its atmospheric dread and technical brilliance marking a significant genre shift for its lead star. The Day of Wrath is here.Diés Iraé will be streaming from December 5 only on JioHotstar.@impranavlal @rahul_madking @StudiosYNot @chakdyn @sash041075 @allnightshifts @studiosynot #DiésIraé #DiésIraéOnHotstar #PranavMohanlal #Horror #Thriller #Suspense #JioHotstar"¦ pic.twitter.com/AYBPyGwfsL— JioHotstar Malayalam (@JioHotstarMal) November 28, 2025 The film emerged as a major commercial success defying the usual limitations of the horror genre. 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.

Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari on Netflix: As Varun Dhawan’s film hits OTT on Nov 27, did it outperform his previous hit ‘Bhediya’ and Janhvi’s ‘Param Sundari’ with Rs 98 crore worldwide gross? Bollywood

Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari on Netflix: As Varun Dhawan"™s film hits OTT on Nov 27, did it outperform his previous hit "˜Bhediya"™ and Janhvi"™s "˜Param Sundari"™ with Rs 98 crore worldwide gross?

The Shashank Khaitan directorial is all set for its digital premiere this November 27.Here"™s a detailed look at its theatrical report card and how it stacks up against the stars' recent hits. After a theatrical run filled with festive cheer and family drama, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is ready to enter living rooms.The romantic comedy, starring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor, will premiere on Netflix on November 27. Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari marks the highly anticipated third collaboration between Varun Dhawan and director Shashank Khaitan, following the massive successes of Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania, leading fans to dub it the "spiritual successor" to the celebrated franchise. Staying true to their signature style, the narrative revolves around Sunny (Varun) and Tulsi (Janhvi)"”two contrasting personalities forced to navigate a "fake relationship" amidst the chaos of a big fat Indian wedding, resulting in a classic comedy of errors. However, the film's theatrical run wasn't without hurdles; trade analysts noted that the collections were slightly dented by the massive buzz surrounding the pan-India release Kantara: Chapter 1, which occupied a significant chunk of single screens during the same period. Below is the final breakdown of its theatrical run: India Net Collection: ₹ 61.85 Cr India Gross Collection: ₹ 73.85 Cr Overseas Collection: ₹ 24.50 Cr Worldwide Collection: ₹ 98.35 Cr With a worldwide gross of ₹ 98.35 Cr, the film narrowly missed the double-century mark (₹ 100 Cr). The Overseas collection of ₹ 24.5 Cr is a highlight, proving that the Dhawan-Khaitan trademark humor still holds strong appeal among international desi audiences. Varun Dhawan returns to his celebrated "Dulhania" roots with Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, cementing his status as the genre's reliable star. When analyzing his recent box office trajectory, the film lands in a familiar zone. It falls slightly short of his previous family entertainer, JugJugg Jeeyo, which collected approximately ₹85 Cr (India Net)"”a gap likely attributed to the current saturation within the genre.Sunny Sanskari mirrors the performance of his creature-comedy Bhediya. With Bhediya having earned around ₹ 68.99 Cr India Nett .Interestingly, while Sunny Sanskari (₹ 61.85 Cr) trails slightly behind Bhediya in domestic earnings, it has outperformed Bhediya's Worldwide Collection of ₹ 94.91 Cr by grossing ₹ 98.35 Cr, largely thanks to a much stronger overseas performance (₹ 24.5 Cr vs Bhediya's ₹ 13.5 Cr). This places the new release in the same "Average" to "Semi-Hit" bracket as his earlier experimental ventures. Janhvi Kapoor continues her ascent as a commercial force following a remarkably busy year. Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari adds another significant title to her portfolio, showcasing a clear upward trend in her box office draw. Earlier this year, her romantic entertainer Param Sundari emerged as a surprise success, grossing close to ₹75 Cr worldwide. Sunny Sanskari has comfortably outperformed that benchmark with a global total of ₹98.35 Cr, effectively cementing her bankability in the romantic-comedy space. All in all, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari wraps up its theatrical journey as a respectable semi-hit. While it couldn't replicate the franchise highs of Badrinath Ki Dulhania, it successfully weathered the storm of Kantara: Chapter 1 to post healthy global numbers.With its vibrant aesthetic and light-hearted humor, the movie is tailor-made for home viewing. As it premieres on Netflix this November 27, it is expected to find a massive second wind, catering to the family audience that prefers enjoying rom-coms from the comfort of their living rooms.
