Patriot

Patriot (2026) is a Malayalam-language political action thriller directed by Mahesh Narayanan — watch it online on iFILM. A defense intelligence analyst from Kerala stumbles onto a regional politician's illicit spyware dealings and decides to expose him. The system hits back hard: fabricated charges, a manhunt, and no safe ground.

On the run and out of official channels, the analyst turns to vlogging — broadcasting the truth to whoever will listen while trying to stay one step ahead. The film builds its ensemble around three icons of Malayalam cinema: Mammootty, Mohanlal and Fahadh Faasil, each anchoring a distinct strand of the story, with Nayanthara and Revathi rounding out a rare all-star cast.

At 177 minutes, Narayanan takes his time with the machinery of corruption, surveillance and manufactured consent — and the film earns its runtime. It is one of the most ambitious South Indian productions of 2026, and it hits differently knowing how precisely it maps to real political dynamics. Stream Patriot (2026) online on iFILM.
