4 - 3 Big Superstars But Film Is Bad Disaster!

Malayalam cinema has been very consistent when it comes to producing some of the finest films in Indian cinema in recent times. But the latest attempt at scaled up production in the form of Patriot has backfired badly.

This Patriot film has three of the biggest superstar in Malayalam cinema, including Mohanlal, Mammootty and Fahad Faasil in the lead roles However, the problem has come with the execution and the core narrative of the film, which is where it has backfired badly.

One of the biggest drawbacks is the lack of strong elevation moments. Mohanlal’s character also felt underutilized and should have had a longer presence. That said, the fight sequence where he escapes an ambush at his house is easily one of the best parts of the film, smart and very cleverly executed.

Technically, the movie is solid for the most part, though many of the action scenes feel surprisingly flat. The villains also lose their intimidation factor after the first half, which makes the second half less engaging. Somewhere in the middle, the tension starts to fade away.

When this film was originally announced with three of the biggest superstars in Malayalam Cinema, great things were expected of it. However, this did not reflect in the actual film as it got bogged down with poor presentation and narration.
