The recently released film *Dies Irae*, starring Pranav Mohanlal, is receiving rave reviews from both audiences and critics. Directed by Rahul Sadasivam, this horror thriller expertly builds tension through silence and atmosphere, delivering a truly chilling experience.
However, many viewers have expressed frustration over disruptions in theaters. Some audience members reportedly talk loudly, hoot, and make comments during the screening, detracting from the film’s terrifying ambiance.
In response to these concerns, several theater owners in Kerala have issued a special notice, now displayed before the film begins. According to *Reporter Live*, the notice reads:
“This is a horror film. Please do not create unnecessary commotion that may disturb others and hinder the proper experience of the movie.”
### Netizens’ Reaction to the Dies Irae Theatre Controversy
This move by theater owners has been widely praised on social media. Popular theaters such as Ragam in Thrissur and Apsara in Kozhikode have also shared this message online.
Many users commented that people simply “don’t know how to watch a horror movie,” making such instructions necessary to fully convey the film’s fear and suspense. One user wrote, “Every theatre should display this.” Another said, “It’s an insult to the civic sense of the film viewing public. We should hold our heads in shame. Kudos to whoever thought of this.”
### Dies Irae Box Office Collection
*Dies Irae* has enjoyed a strong opening at the box office since its release on October 31st. It is being hailed as a genre-defining horror film in Malayalam cinema. Pranav Mohanlal’s intense and powerful performance has deeply resonated with audiences.
According to initial reports, the film collected Rs 16.75 crore nett in India within the first three days. Notably, the third-day earnings alone were approximately Rs 6.35 crore.
This success demonstrates that when a film has strong content and audiences are provided the right atmosphere, horror movies can achieve tremendous commercial success.
