Entertainment Nov 19, 2025

Pranav Mohanlal's "Dies Irae" just surpassed his father Mohanlal's "Hridaypoorvam" at the box office, collecting ₹40.17 crore in less than three weeks—just edging past "Hridaypoorvam's" lifetime total of ₹40.13 crore.
It's a big moment for Pranav and shows Malayalam audiences are really into psychological-horror right now.

Fast climb and steady momentum

"Dies Irae" kicked off strong with a ₹4.7 crore opening day and hit ₹26.45 crore by the end of week one, then added another ₹11.1 crore in week two.
Meanwhile, "Hridaypoorvam" started slower and saw its numbers drop after the first week, taking seven weeks to reach its final tally—something "Dies Irae" managed in under three.
