Patriot receives negative reviews

Mohanlal's performance also received mixed reviews. They further pointed out the "bland" entrance of Nayanthara. People have already dubbed the film a "flop".

"#Patriot fans are walking out of theater. Total misfire by #MaheshNarayan only 40 more mins left and story is over the place. #Nayanthara entry is so bland and #Mohanlal cameo has been so sh*t 💩. #Mammooty is trying his best but screenplay is so dry. Giving flop feels!" a user wrote.

Another user wrote, "Mohanlal🔥 is the saving factor in an otherwise Mid-padam! #Patriot Strictly Average!"

"#Patriot #Mohanlal entry is a total laugh riot. Entire theater is laughing at this joker 😂. Absolute Cringe. Such a snooze fest so far. 1st half was terrible. Waiting for the movie to end. Very flat and boring narration," a user wrote.

"Somewhere in the middle. Felt like a passable watch. Honestly, I doubt they clearly conveyed the actual message they were trying to tell," a user wrote.
