Patriot box office: A rare on-screen reunion of Mohanlal and Mammootty ensured a strong opening pull for Patriot, which released in theatres on May 1, 2026. The film marks the first time in over a decade—13 years—that the two Malayalam superstars have shared substantial screen space in the same project, making it one of the most anticipated releases of the year.
Raja Shivaji, Patriot, and The Devil Wears Prada 2 all debuted on the same day, creating an intriguing three-way battle at the box office. One movie moved forward with obvious velocity, another quietly established a strong base, while the third found it difficult to gain traction.
Patriot day 1 box office update
Patriot delivered a commendable opening, securing the second spot among the day’s releases. With 1,290 screenings and a gross of Rs 4.40 crore in India thus far, the movie has made Rs 3.73 crore net.
