Zarin Shihab explains why Mohanlal’s tragic role in Patriot wasn’t a ‘betrayal’ | Malayalam News

4 min readJun 5, 2026 08:06 AM IST Despite arriving amid significant hype as one of the most anticipated Indian films of 2026, marking the on-screen reunion of Mammootty and Mohanlal in key roles after 17 years since Twenty:20 (2008), director Mahesh Narayanan’s Patriot underperformed at the box office. While many praised the movie for its bold exploration of a serious topic — data privacy and the repercussions of its breach — far too many were disappointed by the lack of commercial elements they had hoped for in a Mammootty-Mohanlal film. Although the makers had emphasised from the beginning of the espionage thriller’s promotions that it wasn’t a star vehicle, these efforts proved futile, and audiences let go of Patriot sooner than expected. The mixed reviews the movie received from the remaining viewers who approached it solely as an espionage thriller also contributed to its unfortunate downfall.
