Malayalam titans Mammootty and Mohanlal finally unite in Patriot, a high-stakes spy thriller. Directed by Mahesh Narayanan, the film ditches nostalgia for raw, grounded performances.

While the first half delivers gripping, tech-focused espionage, the narrative momentum falters later. Despite script inconsistencies, the powerhouse acting makes this a must-watch cinematic event.

It’s a bold, sophisticated shift for modern Indian action cinema.
