Mohanlal and Mammootty’s film Patriot finally hit theatres on Friday and received largely positive reviews from critics and audiences. However, a section of the audience has also criticised it. The film reunited the two superstars after almost 18 years, leaving fans excited. Recently, Mammootty encouraged audiences to watch the movie and form their own opinions. The veteran actor stressed that Patriot was made with the intention of entertaining a wide audience.
