The Malayalam film "Patriot," featuring the talents of Mammootty and Mohanlal, has shown impressive stability at the box office during its first two days. It kicked off with a solid opening of around Rs. 8.50 crore, and on day two, it raked in nearly Rs. 5.25 crore, bringing its total to about Rs. 13.75 crore in Kerala so far.
It's common to see a dip on the second day after a strong debut, and in this case, the drop has been quite manageable. The film continues to attract audiences, partly thanks to the star power of its two leading actors sharing the screen.
