Patriot, the much-hyped espionage thriller starring Mammootty and Fahadh Faasil, has received mixed reviews online. The film, directed by Mahesh Narayanan, was expected to bring together the 'Big M's' Mammootty and Mohanlal in an exciting film, but it seems to have left Mohanlal fans disappointed.
The film's story has impressed some viewers, with one user praising its grounded and focused narrative. However, others have criticized the film's pacing, calling it a 'wasted opportunity' and a 'misfire'.
Some viewers have praised the film's technical aspects, such as its action sequences, but have criticized the screenplay for being dry and lacking emotional depth. The film's marketing campaign, which promised a reunion for Mohanlal and Mammootty, has also been called out for being misleading.
Patriot stars Mammootty, Mohanlal, Fahadh Faasil, Kunchacko Boban, Nayanthara, and Revathi, and was released in theatres on May 1.
