Interestingly, collections from the overseas market are higher than those of the domestic market, but we are not really surprised.

Records the 2nd biggest opening for Mollywood!
With 29.56 crore gross, Patriot registered the second-biggest opening for Mollywood globally. It stands behind Mohanlal’s L2: Empuraan, which grossed a mammoth 67.78 crore gross on its opening day. In a comparison, the latest release scored 56.38% lower than L2: Empuraan. Hopefully, Drishyam 3, which releases in theaters on May 21, will dethrone L2: Empuraan.
With the kind of start it has got, everyone expects Patriot to earn at least 100 crore gross globally. However, things look a bit dicey considering the mixed reception.
