The day 8 collection stand at Rs 2 crore and day 9 stood at Rs 3.50 crores (early estimates).Director Rahul Sadasivan, known for his work in ‘Bhoothakaalam’ and ‘Bramayugam’, once again strikes a balance between atmospheric tension and human vulnerability in ‘Dies Irae’.According to ETimes, “In a horror film, writing emotion may often feel forced, but here, it works beautifully. The apology, and the way Rohan grows out of his privileged mould to offer a hand, are two poignant moments.”Our review also notes, “The elements of shared delusion — often seen between co-dependent family members — and the signs of insanity make the film more of a horror story with psychological, mystery, and thriller aspects woven in. There are a few scenes that contain foreshadowing — the close shot of the buffalo and the eeriness that follows before the beginning of the final arc.”On the other hand, Pranav Mohanlal’s previous outing was the Vineeth Sreenivasan’s directorial feel-good drama film ‘Varshangalkku Shesham’. Although the film received mixed reviews, it did a good box office business.DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers in this article are compiled from our proprietary sources and diverse public data.
