Mohanlal and Mammootty’s Patriot was not meant to be a large-scale movie but it would seem that fate definitely has other plans. The latter had previously proclaimed that he wanted the film to be something Malayalam people love and enjoy more than the rest of India.

With the pre-release sales, it would seem that many people are excited about the duo coming on screen again.

Patriot has reportedly earned ₹3.5 crore in Kerala itself and over ₹9 crore worldwide in pre-ticket sales alone. As of April 30, the movie has garnered a total of ₹17.50 crores in only half a day. If anything, the movie is only going to grow and grow.

The last time they shared a screen, a generation grew up watching it on repeat.

Eighteen years later, Mammookka and Lalettan are back together and Malayalam cinema is calling it a Magnum Opus for a reason..

Here’s to #Patriot. May the screens not be enough. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/66VCNMOte6
