Actor-director R. Parthiban has become the latest celebrity to praise the film 'Patriot' with an emotional and poetic review. Despite mixed responses from audiences, Parthiban's heartfelt appreciation has garnered significant attention online.
Parthiban Praises Big 'M's of Mollywood
Directed by Mahesh Narayanan, 'Patriot' stars Mammootty, Fahadh Faasil, Kunchacko Boban, and Mohanlal in pivotal roles. In a lengthy social media post, Parthiban lauded the performances, filmmaking style, and emotional impact of the movie in his unique manner. His comments about the lead actors have gone viral among cinema enthusiasts. Praising Mammootty and Mohanlal, he wrote, 'The two big M's are in this movie… But they didn't come as stars. They came as experience.' He added, 'Mammootty Sir doesn't perform dialogue… he releases weight through silence. Mohanlal Sir, he is simply existing inside the frame. That ease cannot be learned. It can only be lived.'
Speaking about Fahadh Faasil, Parthiban noted, 'Fear, confusion, intelligence… everything passes through him like electricity.' He also praised Kunchacko Boban, calling his performance 'Softness outside… storm inside.'
Mahesh Narayanan's Filmmaking Style Wins Special Praise
Beyond performances, Parthiban was deeply impressed by the film's technical quality and making. Describing it as an international-level experience, he wrote, 'This is not a Malayalam movie… In the name of a Malayalam movie, they have quietly taken an English movie!' He praised the director, saying, 'The director didn't simply take a film… he took us inside the film.' According to him, the movie's greatest strength is its maturity and control. 'Nowadays, technology is available for everyone… but taste is not. This film has taste in every frame,' he stated. His comments have increased curiosity among audiences who have yet to watch the film.
An Emotional Statement from Parthiban is Now Winning Hearts
Parthiban also appreciated cinematographer Manush Nandan for capturing emotions beyond visuals. 'The camera didn't merely capture faces, it captured fear, tension, and silence too,' he wrote. In a creative touch, he called him a 'care-man' instead of a cameraman because 'every frame was handled with care.' Ending his review with a powerful statement, Parthiban wrote, 'Nowadays, many films want us to watch. Very few films make us feel watched. 'Patriot' did that. That is the real success of cinema.' His emotional words have become one of the most talked-about celebrity reactions to 'Patriot.'
