Pranav Mohanlal’s smash-hit horror film Dies Irae: The Day of Wrath is all set to make its digital debut after a highly successful theatrical run. The supernatural thriller, which impressed audiences with its atmospheric tension and gripping execution, will now be available for streaming very soon.
OTT Release Date and Platform
The makers have officially confirmed that Dies Irae will start streaming on JioHotstar beginning December 5. The announcement was made through social media, with the streamer revealing that OTTplay Premium subscribers will also get access to the film on the same day.
As of now, the platform has not confirmed whether the movie will release in multiple languages, though fans are expecting wider regional availability given the film’s popularity outside Kerala as well.
Plot: A Descent Into the Supernatural
Pranav Mohanlal plays Rohan, a wealthy architect whose life spirals into chaos after the mysterious death of his ex-girlfriend, Kani. When he visits her house soon after her passing, he begins experiencing eerie occurrences that slowly unravel his sanity.
Rohan senses Kani’s energy lingering around him—an unsettling presence he cannot explain. As he digs deeper for answers, he uncovers disturbing truths about unresolved trauma, restless spirits, and the thin veil separating the living from the dead.
Blending psychological horror with supernatural dread, Dies Irae stands out as one of the most atmospheric Malayalam horror films of the year, earning praise for its slow-burn tension and haunting themes.
Cast Performances
While Pranav Mohanlal delivers one of his most compelling performances yet, the supporting cast also elevates the film:
- Jibin Gopinath, as Potti, plays Kani’s neighbor who unwillingly gets entangled in the chilling mystery.
- Arun Ajikumar shines in a brief but impactful role that adds depth to the narrative.
The cast’s grounded performances add realism to the film’s intense supernatural undertones.
Box Office Success and Critical Praise
Directed by Rahul Sadasivan, who continues to strengthen his presence in the Malayalam horror genre, Dies Irae received excellent reviews upon its theatrical release on October 31, coinciding with Halloween.
The movie not only garnered positive critical acclaim for its storytelling, sound design, and eerie visual language but also performed strongly at the box office — marking yet another win for Sadasivan after his previous horror successes.
Jay-Ho Exclusive
With its eerie mood, strong performances, and psychological depth, Dies Irae is expected to attract an even larger audience once it hits OTT. Whether you missed it in theatres or want to re-experience its chilling world, December 5 promises a gripping watch from the comfort of your home.
