Patriot Faces Sharp Drop in India as Overseas Leads Global Run

The Rs 125 crore thriller needs steadier weekdays to approach break-even.

Overview

  • The film grossed about Rs 63.61 crore worldwide over its opening weekend, with Rs 38.50 crore from overseas outpacing roughly Rs 21.65 crore in India.
  • India receipts fell day by day from around Rs 10 crore on day 1 to Rs 6.15 crore on day 2 and Rs 5.50 crore on day 3, then slid further to an estimated Rs 2.89 crore on day 4.
  • The worldwide total after four days is pegged near Rs 66.50 crore, a tally that excludes overseas figures for day 4 that were not yet reported.
  • Given a reported budget near Rs 125 crore, the film’s recovery hinges on weekday holds and stronger word of mouth, with diaspora markets such as North America supplying a key share of early revenue.
  • Addressing polarized reactions at a Dubai event, Mammootty urged audiences to watch Patriot and make up their own minds.
