Patriot teaser X reviews: Mammootty, Mohanlal, and Fahadh Faasil starter fails to impress netizens; Check reactions

On the occasion of Dussehra, the makers of Patriot unveiled the teaser, marking the explosive reunion of Malayalam cinema legends Mammootty and Mohanlal after nearly 16 years. The film also marks Mammootty’s comeback to the big screen after an eight month hiatus due to health issues, with the superstar resuming filming in Hyderabad earlier this week.

The teaser of Patriot hints at an action packed thriller. Mammootty plays a retired JAG officer who is wrongly blamed for spying. To prove his innocence and save the country, he sets out on a secret mission. Mohanlal joins him as a brave army officer, making the mission more intense. Fahadh Faasil’s character looks uneasy about their partnership, hinting at drama and power struggles. The teaser also introduces Nayanthara and Revathy in important roles.

However, the audience reaction on X has been quite mixed. Many people felt the teaser didn’t live up to the big expectations from the Mammootty-Mohanlal reunion. Some called it underwhelming, while others were disappointed with the pacing, visuals, or overall feel of it.

Here’s how fans reacted online:

#Patriot – Excellent teaser. Seems to be content oriented than fan servicing. Looks promising. #MMMN

#Patriot teaser 🌚

Exactly what I expected from Mahesh Narayanan, an underwhelming teaser👎🏻. If the screenplay is gripping, it might work in theatres, otherwise, it’s going to be tough💯 pic.twitter.com/f6ETC0nGy7

#PatriotTeaser an underwhelming teaser. Exactly what I expected from Mahesh Narayanan, big budget docu loading 🥱👎🏻

It would be nice if it didn't end up like King & Commissioner. Hope the movie will be good 🙂! Otherwise, it’s going to be tough 💯#Mohanlal #Mammootty #PATRIOT pic.twitter.com/p8Qj4soqby

#Patriot Teaser was okay. Can't Expect an Overly Stylish Film from Mahesh Narayanan. Looks like he tried a Fast paced Spy thriller in a Tight Screenplay this time . Hope he will deliver.

#Patriot – didnt like the teaser. No wow factor and bgm adds some salt to the wound. Hope the movie wont disappoint. By the way, its a @mammukka movie and @Mohanlal is just playing an extended cameo or a side role is what I felt from teaser.
Lets see
