Patriot Teaser: The long-awaited teaser of Patriot, which was directed by Mahesh Narayan and had Malayalam cinema’s iconic duo Mohanlal and Mammootty playing the lead, is finally out. Labelled as one of the biggest ventures in recent times, the film takes the audience to a high-adrenaline world with fighter planes and a first-of-its-kind representation of a leading character as a fighter pilot in Malayalam cinema.
Visually, Patriot has already distinguished itself. With its sleek looks, military setting, and globally-scale production values, most viewers feel the teaser exudes a genuine “Hollywood-level” atmosphere. For a regional industry routinely praised for storytelling over spectacle, Patriot appears to be seeking a one-in-a-million balance between majesty and grunge.
Online reactions, however, have been polarized between excitement and dismay. Though some of the fans appreciated the grandeur and described it as “decent” and “fresh,” others found the teaser disappointing and lacking the oomph one should have from such a monumental collaboration. Reactions varied from praise for the fresh idea — “First time in Malayalam film history, we have a fighter aircraft and a hero as a fighter pilot” — to questioning its slow pace and failure to find a hook.
In spite of the confused initial perceptions, the expectations for Patriot continue to run high. The fans of Mohanlal and Mammootty regard this movie as a golden chance to create new standards in Malayalam cinema. Directed by Mahesh Narayan and starring the two veterans, expectations are that this film will provide a Big Screen experience worth celebrating.
The teaser might have polarized opinions, but one thing is certain: Patriot has generated discussions, set high goals, and raised the bar for Malayalam cinema unlike ever before.
