One of the most highly anticipated movies of the year, ‘Patriot’, is here in theatres. The film was already on the to-watch list of many, chiefly for the rare collaboration of Mollywood supremos Mammootty and Mohanlal after a gap of 18 long years. The movie is directed by Mahesh Narayanan, while the cinematography is handled by Manush Nandan.

Let’s know from the audience whether the movie did enough to match the hype.

Audience response:

  • Just a one-time watch movie. It is not bad.

  • One-time watch

  • Don’t know whether Mohanlal fans will be able to digest this. We are not revealing the suspense.

  • Superstars have done their best as per the script demanded.

  • Don’t expect mass

  • No proper introduction to any characters, just a shoddy work. Serious flaw in script.

  • Feeling disappointed. Don’t know why Mohanlal was brought in to do the role

  • Second half was nice. It is just content-oriented and gives a good message.

  • Visual treat from Mahesh Narayanan

  • Fahad Faasil was good. Everything else from the movie deserves flak.

  • Second half fell like a pack of cards.
