Patriot, the much-awaited Malayalam spy thriller starring Mammootty and Mohanlal, continued its impressive run at the box office over the weekend. Following a strong opening on Day 1, the film witnessed a modest drop on Day 2, which is typical for big releases as initial curiosity gives way to word-of-mouth. Early trends on Day 3 indicate steady footfalls, particularly in Kerala and key overseas markets, suggesting the star power is helping sustain interest despite mixed audience feedback on certain aspects of the screenplay.
On Day 2 (Saturday, 2 May 2026), Patriot collected approximately ₹8.20 crore in India gross, marking a 16.33% dip from the opening day. The film maintained healthy occupancy in major centres, though evening shows reflected some moderation compared to Friday’s peak. Overseas collections added further momentum, pushing the two-day worldwide total past ₹51 crore.
As Sunday (Day 3) progresses, early estimates point to a stable performance with potential for slight growth over Saturday figures. Theatre occupancy remains encouraging in family-oriented shows, and the film’s pan-India appeal is gradually expanding beyond its core Malayalam audience. These figures position Patriot among the stronger openers of 2026 for Mollywood.

About Patriot and Future Prediction
Patriot is a high-stakes spy action thriller directed by Mahesh Narayanan. The film brings together screen legends Mammootty and Mohanlal in key roles after nearly two decades, alongside a stellar supporting cast that includes Fahadh Faasil, Nayanthara, Kunchacko Boban, Revathi, and Darshana Rajendran. Shot extensively on international locations, the story follows covert operatives as they uncover a surveillance conspiracy that threatens national security.
The film has generated significant buzz thanks to its massive pre-release bookings and the rare on-screen reunion of two of Malayalam cinema’s biggest stars. Early audience reactions praise the high-octane action sequences and the chemistry between the leads, though some viewers have noted a slightly uneven second half. Strong performances and technical excellence have still left a positive impression overall.
Looking ahead, Patriot is well-placed to deliver a solid first weekend. If positive word-of-mouth sustains and Sunday collections hold or improve, the film could cross the ₹70-80 crore worldwide mark by the end of the weekend. Long-term prospects will depend on how it performs in non-Malayalam markets and its ability to maintain momentum through weekdays. With its big-budget canvas and star value, the movie has the potential to emerge as one of the year’s major successes for Malayalam cinema.
