Malayalam film Patriot couldn’t show any sort of growth at the box office. The movie added another Rs. 1.20 crore to the tally on its Day 6, bringing the 6-day cume to Rs. 23.15 crore gross at the Kerala box office. The movie registered a drop of nearly 15 per cent from Day 5, which was already low.
Starring Mammootty and Mohanlal in the lead roles, along with Fahadh Faasil, Kunchacko Boban, Nayanthara, Revathy, Darshana, and others, the movie is looking to close its first week at Rs. 25 crore. That will be an underwhelming total for a film of this stature.
The Mahesh Narayanan directorial needs to pick up in the second weekend in order to reach a respectable total. Patriot was earlier seen as a potential Rs. 100 crore grosser, but now it is even struggling to reach the Rs. 50 crore gross mark in Kerala. Let’s see whether it can see some growth over the coming days or not.
Day-wise box office collections of Patriot in Kerala are as follows:
| Day | Box Office |
| 1 | Rs. 8.50 crore |
| 2 | Rs. 5.25 crore |
| 3 | Rs. 5.00 crore |
| 4 | Rs. 1.75 crore |
| 5 | Rs. 1.45 crore |
| 6 | Rs. 1.20 crore (est.) |
| Total | Rs. 23.15 crore (est.) |
For the unversed, Patriot is one of Malayalam cinema’s biggest films of all time. The movie marks the reunion of Mollywood’s two giants, Mohanlal and Mammootty, after nearly 18 years. The next big release from Malayalam cinema is Drishyam 3. It will be interesting to see whether the Mohanlal starrer can stand true to its franchise’s cult status or not.
