When Patriot released in theatres, there was massive buzz around the project, given that it brought Mammootty and Mohanlal back together onscreen. The Mahesh Narayanan film, which was reportedly mounted on a Rs 150-160 cr budget, also featured a stellar ensemble cast, including Fahadh Faasil as the main antagonist, apart from the likes of Rajiv Menon, Revathi, Nayanthara, Darshana Rajendra, Zarin Shihab, Shaheen Siddique, Kunchacko Boban, Indrans, Grace Antony, among others.

Released in theatres on May 1, 2026, Patriot, according to box office trackers, took a stellar opening with a Rs 10 crore opening, but then took a dip over the weekend, coming in at Rs 6.15 cr and Rs 5.5 cr only. Thereafter it has been a steady decline, with the film registering sub Rs 2 cr collections for the next three days, after which, it has not crossed the Rs 1 cr mark either. In fact, according to sacnilk, collections are as low as Rs 0.03 cr (3 lakh only), which could be why the makers are now set to bring the film to OTT. According to tracker Sacnilk.com, Patriot has registered a world-wide gross of Rs 79.9 crore, more than half of which has come from overseas collections.
With a bunch of summer releases set to come out, starting with Drishyam 3 (May 21), Kattalan (May 28) and Mollywood Times (June 5), Patriot will likely end its theatrical run shortly. The streamer, Zee5 has announced that the film will premiere on the platform on June 5, 2026. Going by the announcement, it seems that the original Malayalam version is all that will be available to stream. There’s no word on dubbed versions yet.
