Did the Megastars Just Break the Box Office? Patriot’s Day 1 Numbers Are In!
The wait is finally over, and the results are even bigger than we imagined! The legendary duo of Mohanlal and Mammootty has returned to the big screen together after 13 long years in the spy thriller Patriot, and they’ve basically set the box office on fire. On its very first day, the film raked in a massive ₹29.37 crore worldwide, with Kerala alone contributing a staggering ₹8.50 crore. Fans flocked to the theaters from early morning, leading to over 70% occupancy across India—a clear sign that the magic of these two icons hasn’t faded one bit.
Directed by Mahesh Narayanan, this high-budget espionage drama didn’t just win hearts; it shattered records by becoming one of the fastest Malayalam films to cross the ₹4 crore mark in pre-sales. With a stellar cast including Fahadh Faasil and Nayanthara, the film is already being hailed as a global blockbuster, especially with a huge ₹18 crore coming in from overseas fans. If you were wondering if the hype was real, the packed cinemas and the incredible ₹11.37 crore total Indian gross on day one have officially answered that question!
