The action thriller Patriot, starring Mammootty, continues to show a steady trend at the box office. The film has completed five days in theatres and has managed to post decent numbers despite divided audience reactions.
Worldwide Gross Reaches Rs 68.92 Crore
The worldwide gross for Patriot now stands at Rs 68.92 crore, according to reports. The film features Mohanlal alongside Mammootty under the direction of Mahesh Narayanan. This combination generated strong pre-release buzz. However, audience opinions after release have remained mixed.
India Collections Hold Steady
According to Sacnilk, the film has collected Rs 24.54 crore in India net so far. The India gross collection stands at Rs 28.42 crore. The film did not crash after the opening weekend, which is a positive sign for its theatrical run. The steady performance suggests that word-of-mouth is not entirely negative. While reviews are divided, a section of the audience continues to support the film.
Overseas Market Drives Growth
A significant portion of the film's earnings has come from international markets. Overseas, Patriot has grossed Rs 40.50 crore. This has played a crucial role in pushing the worldwide total close to Rs 70 crore. The film saw solid numbers over the weekend:
- On Day 2 (first Saturday), it collected Rs 6.15 crore with 2,374 shows and 43.0% occupancy.
- On Day 3 (first Sunday), it earned Rs 5.50 crore with 2,229 shows and 42.0% occupancy.
- On Day 4 (first Monday), it collected Rs 2.89 crore with 1,781 shows and 19.0% occupancy.
Despite the drop, the overall trend remains stable. The total India net collection now stands at Rs 24.54 crore.
Mammootty Reacts to Mixed Reviews
At a recent event in Dubai, Mammootty addressed the mixed reception. He spoke about the film's theme and relevance. He said, "We are living in an era where privacy is increasingly lost, and the film Patriot addresses this relevant subject." He also shared his thoughts on differing audience opinions: "There will be different views—good, bad, partly good, mostly good. Everyone is free to express their opinion as they feel. Some of you may have heard such opinions before coming here. Whatever it is, you will form your own view, and that is what matters. Films are made with the intention of being enjoyed by all."
