Patriot Review: Mammootty and Mohanlal show career-defining acting in thriller

Malayalam film Patriot is already in the news because of its big star cast, which includes stalwarts like Mammootty, Mohanlal and Fahadh Faasil. The film is not dubbed in Hindi, but it can be easily watched and understood with subtitles. The story is based on today's very important issues like digital privacy and data theft. It shows how your personal information and location can be tracked through technology. Mammootty is in the role of a scientist who investigates these cases and later becomes a YouTuber. His entry is very strong and gets a good response in the theater. Mohanlal enters in the second half and he makes the film stronger. The screen presence of both the veterans is superb and they dominate the entire film. However, Fahadh Faasil's role seems a bit weak and he doesn't make much of an impact. Among the rest of the cast, Kunchacko Boban, Nayanthara and Revathi do a good job in their small roles. Director Mahesh Narayanan has kept this 3-hour film engaging to a great extent. Rating: 3/5 is a movie worth watching in theaters, especially for the star power and treatment
