Rahul Expands His Universe &amp; Pranav&apos;s Best Performance Yet

I&apos;d say it&apos;s an average overall movie experience, especially when compared to his earlier works. But there&apos;s still a lot to appreciate here.

Technically, this film is super impressive. The cinematography, the sound design, the lighting everything feels detailed and polished. You can tell Rahul and his team put a lot of thought into every frame.

The casting is spot on too. Every actor fits their role perfectly. And Pranav, I have to say, has really improved here. He still has room to grow when it comes to expressing emotions more naturally, but compared to his earlier performances, this is definitely his best so far.

Now, the first half of the movie moves at a slower pace, it takes its time setting up the tone and atmosphere. But from the second half onwards, things get a lot more interesting. The tension builds up nicely, the narrative gets tighter, and that&apos;s where you start feeling truly invested in the story.

One of the coolest things is how Rahul is clearly building his own cinematic universe. You can find the connection between Diés Iraé, Bhoothakaalam, and Bramayugam.

That said, I don&apos;t think Diés Iraé is exactly a &quot;theatre experience&quot; movie. It&apos;s more of a slow-burn film that might work better when you watch it quietly at home, where you can really soak in the atmosphere.

There are some clichés in the writing and the pacing could&apos;ve been smoother, but overall, it&apos;s a good film, technically brilliant, well-acted, and an exciting step forward in Rahul&apos;s expanding universe.
