Pranav Mohanlal’s Dice Ira, one of the surprise Malayalam hits of this year, is now ready for its digital premiere. The horror thriller, directed by Brahmayugam filmmaker Rahul Sadasivan, will stream on JioHotstar from December 5, 2025, exactly 35 days after its theatrical debut. The platform confirmed the update with a new motion poster and wrote, “The day of wrath has arrived. Dice Irae will be streaming from 5th December only on JioHotstar.”
The film released in theaters on 31 October amid minimal promotion, but it soon gained momentum due to strong word-of-mouth. Despite an A certificate for gory content, Dice Iraa collected Rs 82 crore worldwide and became one of the highest-grossing Malayalam films of the year, according to Republic World. The film also marked the first collaboration between Pranab Mohanlal and director Rahul Sadasivan.

JioHotstar has acquired the OTT rights at a considerable price and will stream Dice Era in five languages, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi. With a wide release, the film is expected to reach audiences beyond Kerala and build on its strong theatrical performance.
The platform also shared a motion poster for the OTT announcement, which shows Pranav’s character in deep sleep and a mysterious hand coming towards him. The red and blue color tone of the scene adds a spooky atmosphere, which matches the dark theme of the film.
