Pranav Mohanlal has achieved a rare milestone in Malayalam cinema by delivering three consecutive films that crossed ₹50 crore worldwide at the box office. His latest horror film, Dies Irae, directed by Rahul Sadasivan, reached this mark within a week of its theatrical release. The film opened on October 31 to positive reviews, with audiences praising the horror elements, screenplay, and Pranav's central performance. He becomes only the second actor in Malayalam cinema to accomplish this hat-trick of commercial successes. His father, Mohanlal, was the first to achieve this feat with his 2025 releases. Pranav's previous films, Hridayam and Varshangalkk, had also crossed the same worldwide collection milestone. Dies Irae tells the story of a young architect who discovers supernatural occurrences in his home, uncovering unsettling truths connected to his past and present. The film also features Jaya Kurup and Jibin Gopinath in supporting roles.
Following Father Mohanlal's Record-Breaking Achievement
Pranav Mohanlal has become the second Malayalam actor to deliver three consecutive films earning over ₹50 crore worldwide. His father, Mohanlal, was the first to set this record. The veteran actor achieved this milestone with his 2025 releases: Hridayapoorvam, Empuraan, and Thudarum, all of which successfully crossed the ₹50 crore mark at the global box office. Pranav's earlier successes include Hridayam and Varshangalkk, both of which also joined the ₹50 crore club. Mohanlal was last seen in Hridayapoorvam, a romantic comedy drama directed by Sathyan Anthikad, released during Onam. The film starred Malavika Mohanan, Sangita Madhavan Nair, and Sangeeth Prathap. Recently, Mohanlal received the prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke Award at the National Film Awards ceremony in September.
