According to Sacnilk, Patriot, on its first day, minted Rs. 9.80 crore at the box office, which is a decent amount. It fell short of Rs. 20 lakh to reach the Rs. 10 crore mark. A double-digit opening would have been good for the film.

Well, the reviews of the critics and the audience have been mixed. So, it will be interesting to see whether the movie will show a jump at the box office or not during the weekend.
