Dies Irae – Streaming on JioHotstar from Dec 5, 2025
Dies Irae arrives on JioHotstar this December with a gripping tale that blends psychological tension, supernatural hints, and emotional unraveling.
Directed and written by Rahul Sadasivan, the film dives deep into guilt, obsession, and the haunting consequences of a single reckless act.
Story Overview
The story follows Rohan Shankar, played by Pranav Mohanlal, a wealthy and carefree playboy who abruptly cuts ties with his ex-girlfriend Kani Krishna Kumar after she becomes increasingly possessive and begins pressing for marriage. His sudden departure shatters her emotionally, leading to a tragic suicide.
When Rohan visits her home to offer condolences, he quietly slips one of her small hair clips into his pocket—a seemingly harmless act that becomes the catalyst for a disturbing chain of events. Strange occurrences, unexplained fears, and psychological torment force him to confront his past choices and step away from his indulgent lifestyle. What begins as guilt soon grows into something far more sinister.
