The film certification formalities for ‘Patriot’, touted as the biggest film in the history of Malayalam cinema, have been completed. The film secured a U/A 16+ certificate from the Censor Board, with a total runtime of 3 hours and 25 seconds. The movie is scheduled for a grand global theatrical release on May 1. All-India advance ticket bookings will commence this Tuesday (April 28, 2026) at 9:00 AM, with the first show scheduled for 9:15 AM on May 1.

Anticipation and excitement have been sky-high since the project’s announcement, as ‘Patriot’ marks the historic onscreen reunion of Malayalam cinema’s legendary actors, Mammootty and Mohanlal, in lead roles after an 18-year gap. Directed by Mahesh Narayanan, the film features a stellar ensemble cast including Fahadh Faasil, Kunchacko Boban, Nayanthara, Revathi, and Rajiv Menon in pivotal roles.

The trailer, which garnered massive attention for the high-octane action sequences featuring Mammootty and Mohanlal, and the powerhouse performances of Fahadh Faasil, Kunchacko Boban, and Nayanthara, showcased the film’s massive canvas. A recent promotional interview released on JioHotstar — featuring the lead stars alongside Mahesh Narayanan, Sushin Shyam, Rajiv Menon, and Prakash Varma — has further fuelled the hype surrounding the film.
