Dies Irae Movie Review: A Decent Slow-Burn Horror Thriller

Movie Name: Dies Irae
Rating: 2.75/5
Cast: Pranav Mohanlal, Sushmita Bhatt, Gibin Gopinath, Jaya Kurup, and others
Director: Rahul Sadasivan
Produced By: Chakravarthy Ramachandra and S. Sashikanth
Release Date: 7th November 2025

Dies Irae, starring Pranav Mohanlal and directed by Rahul Sadasivan, has already become a superhit in Malayalam. Now, the film arrives in Telugu, just a week after its original release. Does it live up to the hype, and what message does it aim to convey? Here’s our review.

Story:

Dies Irae follows the story of Rohan, the son of a wealthy man and a successful architect, who lives a carefree and happy life. His world turns upside down when he learns that his ex-girlfriend Kani (played by Sushmitha Bhatt) has died by suicide. After visiting her house, Rohan begins to experience strange and unsettling events in his own home. The rest of the film explores how Rohan uncovers the truth about Kani’s past and the unexpected twists that follow.

Performances:

Pranav Mohanlal is convincing as Rohan and delivers a solid performance. He handles the tense and emotional scenes with ease. Gibin Gopinath stands out in a key supporting role, while the rest of the cast performs decently.

Analysis:

Director Rahul Sadasivan adds a psychological layer to the horror genre. The film starts slowly, with the first 20–30 minutes feeling quite ordinary. However, the suspense builds once Rohan senses a mysterious presence in his house. Some of the jump scares are effective, and the interval twist adds to the intrigue.

The second half includes a few genuinely chilling moments that leave an impact. Still, the film struggles with a predictable storyline and familiar plot points. While the director tries to present the story freshly, the narrative remains routine. The backstory and a key twist in the latter half are handled well, and the climax is also alright, but the typical horror-style cliffhanger at the end feels unnecessary.

Positives:

  • Performances
  • Jump Scares/Thrilling Scenes
  • Background Music/Visuals

Negatives:

  • Predictable Scenes/Moments
  • A Few Unanswered Questions Regarding The Ghost

Dies Irae Review and Verdict:

In conclusion, Dies Irae is a decent, slow-paced horror thriller with strong technical quality and a few well-executed scares. Although it lacks surprises and moves at a relaxed pace, it may still appeal to fans of the genre.

Diwali releases Dude, K Ramp, Telusu Kada, Bison heading to OTT platforms

2025 Diwali Box Office had solid competition at the box office, as multiple films were released in theaters, such as Dude, K-Ramp, Telusu Kada, and Bison, which are all heading to OTT platforms next week.

2024 Diwali proved to be a golden one for Tollywood as Lucky Baskhar, Amaran, and KA movies did huge numbers at the box office. Compared to that, 2025 Diwali is a bit disappointing.

Only K-Ramp managed to get a success status at the box office, while Dude’s Telugu version ended as an average to above-average earner, and other movies did not do much in Telugu.

The first Diwali release, Mithra Mandali, already arrived on Prime Video within 3 weeks of theatrical release, and the film’s re-edited version is streaming on the popular platform.

Next, Siddhu’s Telusu Kada is set to stream from 13th November on Netflix in all languages, while Pradeep Ranganathan’s Dude will stream on Netflix from 14th November in all languages.

Kiran Abbavaram’s K Ramp will stream on Aha Video from 15th November. Dhruv Vikram and Mari Selvaraj’s Bison’ digital rights were also bagged by Netflix, and the film will stream next weekend.

So, next weekend, all Diwali releases, Dude, K Ramp, Telusu Kada, and Bison, will stream on OTT platforms.

Jana Nayagan avoids Tamil Nadu, flying overseas for grand audio launch

Vijay’s movie’s audio launch always happens as a grand event, and the actor gives a highly engaging speech to please his fans and audiences. The latest news is that his upcoming and probably last film as a lead hero, Jana Nayagan, is flying overseas for a grand audio launch.

It is widely known that Vijay is not only a movie star now, but he has also announced his political party and is contesting elections next year. So, there will be some political issues and pressures regarding his film’s event.

With that, the team of Jana Nayagan is skipping the audio launch event in Tamil Nadu and will move overseas, and the event will be held in Malaysia. The event date is said to be 27th December. Malaysia is a very big market for Tamil movies, much like what the US is for Telugu. 

Vijay will certainly want to address a huge crowd in a big event, as his film is now getting projected as his last film, so the fans are eagerly awaiting his words.

The entire cast and crew will attend this audio launch event in Malaysia with Anirudh’s energetic performance. The first single is being released this evening.

Bigg Boss Telugu 9: Sudden Self-Eviction Stuns Housemates

Bigg Boss Telugu 9 has already delivered several unexpected twists, and the latest surprise is the sudden self-eviction of Ramu Rathod, which has stunned both viewers and housemates. 

Ramu, a popular Telangana folk singer and dancer, had repeatedly expressed his struggle to stay in the house due to homesickness and missing his family. He shared his feelings with both the housemates and host Nagarjuna, but each time, they convinced him to stay with encouraging words.

However, this week, Ramu’s behavior changed noticeably. He made multiple sacrifices during tasks without defending himself or speaking up. His decision to step away from the captaincy race without any resistance surprised everyone in the house.

According to reports, Ramu Rathod requested Nagarjuna to let him leave the show during this weekend, saying he was unable to sleep and couldn’t continue due to emotional stress. Despite efforts from Nagarjuna and fellow contestants to persuade him, Ramu remained firm in his decision. As a result, he was self-evicted from the house this weekend.

Interestingly, based on voting trends, Srinivas Sai was set to be eliminated, while Ramu was in the second-lowest position, meaning he could have been safe this week. His decision to walk out voluntarily has left fans and housemates shocked.
