While it has only been at the box office for 3 days, the conversation has already shifted to its OTT release as fans await the digital debut of the film.

Patriot OTT Release - When And Where To Watch
The high-octane Malayalam spy thriller Patriot is all set to make its digital debut soon after its successful theatrical run. According to FilmiBeat, the streaming rights of the film have been acquired by ZEE5.
While the makers are yet to announce an official OTT release date, industry sources suggest the film is likely to stream on ZEE5 by the end of May or early June. This is based on the recent Malayalam film patterns that follow a digital debut after about 4 weeks of their theatrical run. However, it depends on how long the film can be sustained at the box office.
Additionally, the satellite rights are also with the ZEE network, with Zee Keralam likely to broadcast the film on television, after the OTT release.
