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. Here is how it compares to its peers: Dies Irae (2025): Genre: Horror Thriller ||Budget:₹ 24 Cr | Worldwide Collection: ₹ 82 Cr | Verdict: Blockbuster Bramayugam (2024): Genre: Period Horror |Budget:₹ 27.73 Cr |Worldwide Collection: Approx ₹ 58.2 Cr | Verdict: Hit Kishkindha Kaandam (2024): Genre: Mystery Thriller | |Budget: ₹ 7 Cr |Worldwide Collection: Approx ₹ 76.9 Cr | Verdict: All-Time Blockbuster. Catch the spine-chilling experience of Dies Irae exclusively on JioHotstar starting December 5. If you missed the immersive sound design in theaters headphones are highly recommended for the OTT premiere to fully experience the wrath of the narrative.

The Man of Steel has officially landed. After a solid theatrical run that kickstarted a new era for DC Studios, James Gunn’s Superman is set to make its digital premiere in India. Fans who missed the spectacle in theaters—or those wanting to re-watch the beginning of the new DC Universe—can stream the film starting December 11, 2025, exclusively on JioHotstar. The #1 Superhero Sensation of 2025, DC Studios' Superman, lands December 11 on JioHotstar (this time, with Krypto by his side)! pic.twitter.com/WS4uD7XNT4— JioHotstar (@JioHotstar) November 26, 2025 While 2025 was a year dominated by Indian "Roots Cinema," Hollywood made its presence felt through the brand-new Man of Steel. The film didn't break Avatar or Endgame records in India, but it posted respectable numbers, finding a loyal audience in urban centers. The Official Collections: Worldwide Collection: ₹5,240 Cr (Approx. $625 Million) Overseas (Excluding India): ₹2,235 Cr India Gross Collection: ₹60 Cr India Net Collection: ₹49.53 Cr With a global haul of over ₹5,000 Crore, the film is a certified commercial success, effectively launching James Gunn's "Chapter One: Gods and Monsters." In India, the film collected a net of ₹49.53 Crore. While it didn't replicate the mania of previous superhero crossovers, it performed steadily, proving that the Indian audience is open to a new iteration of Clark Kent. Unlike previous iterations that focused heavily on the destruction of Krypton, this Superman tells the story of Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas The movie might not have shattered Avengers-level records in India, but it found its footing among urban audiences who appreciated the heart and hopefulness of this new era. As Superman lands on JioHotstar this December 11, it gets a second shot at winning over the Indian masses. Now, the big question for our readers: Will you be tuning in to watch David Corenswet don the cape this weekend, or are you still loyal to the Henry Cavill era?
