The high-octane spy thriller Patriot, featuring the legendary reunion of Malayalam icons Mammootty and Mohanlal, has crossed a minor milestone at the domestic box office. However, despite the star-studded ensemble, the film continues to face a significant downward trend.
Kerala Box Office Breakdown: The 6-Day Performance
As of its sixth day (Wednesday, May 6, 2026), Patriot
has managed to collect approximately ₹25.75 crore gross at the Kerala
box office. While crossing the ₹25 crore mark is a feat for most films, it is
considered an underwhelming total for a project of this massive stature and
budget.

heavily supported by the international market.

in seven days.

crore gross to the global total.

The Verdict: A High-Stakes Disappointment?
Directed by Mahesh Narayanan, Patriot was
produced on a staggering budget reported to be over ₹125 crore.
Initially projected to be a potential ₹100 crore grosser in Kerala alone, the
film is now struggling to even reach the ₹50 crore mark within the state.
The lukewarm response is largely attributed to
mixed-to-negative word of mouth. Critics have praised the technical
aspects—specifically Sushin Shyam's score and Manush Nandan's
cinematography—and Fahadh Faasil’s standout performance, but many have
pointed to a poorly conceived storyline as the film's primary weakness.
