When two of Malayalam cinema’s greatest legends share the screen together in a full-fledged spy thriller, the audience shows up. *Patriot*, directed by Mahesh Narayanan, is doing exactly what was expected of it — commanding the Kerala box office with steady, confident strides right from Day 1.

### Patriot Day 2 Numbers Hold Strong

After an explosive opening of Rs. 8.50 crore, *Patriot* witnessed a 38 per cent drop on Day 2, adding Rs. 5.25 crore to take its two-day gross to Rs. 13.75 crore at the Kerala box office. While a drop was natural, the overall trajectory remains healthy for a film banking on strong word-of-mouth.

| Day | Kerala Box Office (Gross) |
| --- | --- |
| Day 1 | Rs. 8.50 crore |
| Day 2 | Rs. 5.25 crore |
| **Total (2 Days)** | **Rs. 13.75 crore** |

### A Weekend Figure That Speaks Volumes

The film is expected to close its opening weekend around Rs. 18 crore in Kerala — a banger debut by any standard. The positive-to-mixed audience response, combined with the sheer pull of its ensemble cast, is what’s keeping the momentum alive. The critical test, however, will be its weekday hold.

### Why Patriot Is a Big Deal for Mollywood

*Patriot* is undoubtedly the biggest Malayalam film of 2026 in terms of scale and star power, and it is being compared to top Kerala grossers like *Lokah Chapter One: Chandra*, *L2: Empuraan*, *Thudarum*, *Vaazha 2*, and *Manjummel Boys*.

The [Malayalam film industry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malayalam_cinema) has built a remarkable reputation in recent years for delivering content-driven, high-concept films — and *Patriot* fits right into that tradition. Beyond Mammootty and Mohanlal, the film boasts a stellar cast including Kunchacko Boban, Fahadh Faasil, Nayanthara, Revathy, Indrans, and others. That’s not a cast — that’s a cinematic event.
