The much-anticipated Malayalam spy thriller 'Patriot', featuring legendary actors Mammootty and Mohanlal, entered theatres with tremendous expectations and a strong initial buzz. Directed by Mahesh Narayanan, the film marked the reunion of two of Malayalam cinema's biggest icons. However, after a promising start, the film's box office momentum has begun to wane.
Day 12 Collection Sees a Notable Drop
According to Sacnilk, 'Patriot' earned just Rs 38 lakh on its 12th day in theatres, which was its second Tuesday. This represents a significant decline from the Rs 47 lakh it collected on the second Monday. The film had shown some resilience over the weekend, earning Rs 1.07 crore on its second Sunday, but weekday collections have remained modest, indicating that the film is now relying on limited but steady footfalls.

A Spy Thriller with Ambitious Storytelling
'Patriot' follows covert operatives who uncover a vast surveillance conspiracy that escalates into a national security crisis. As the threat intensifies, they race against time to dismantle the network before it silences all opposition. The ETimes review for the film noted, "Mammootty, as Daniel James, carries the film's first half on his shoulders, along with the audience's hope for a reunion. For a patient moviegoer, this film works in ways that unfold only when you are willing to be part of the world-building and character development. Daniel turning into a vlogger after the first quarter adds an interesting layer, and the slow pace and setting only build the intrigue further. Casting Mohanlal in a significant role that has yet to make a physical screen appearance until then also deepens that intrigue and rewards patience. Mammootty delivers an exemplary performance as Daniel."
