Ronth

Malayalam movie Ronth what a neatly crafted police story just mind blowing.👌👌👌 It's a story of 2 simple cops who work on a night shift patrolling and what all issues and cases they face is the plot and next day how it changes their life is shown.

In today's malayalam cinema cop related movies are shown very realistic no stylish approach, no big bang entry , no mass dailogue and all just being simple and realistic. The credit goes to the writer and director Shahi Kabir.

Shahi khabir is now one of the best writers in malayalam cinema and all his movies are worth watching and best of the best . Nayattu, Eratta, Joseph , Officer on Duty All these movies gave different perspective and stories of a police Officer. Ronth movie will also be in the list of one of the best thriller movies to watch starring Dileesh Pothan Roshan Mathew .

Was suprised to see Lakshmi Menon .She was brilliant ..a excellent journey from.reels to reality movies ..well done.

Excellent performance by all the actors how these 2 cops Dileesh and Roshans character explore the traumatic events and deepest fears that they have to deal in their professional life they have done full justice to those characters.

A brilliant story that is hard hitting especially the climax scene. . If you love police stories, crime thrillers then it's a must must watch.

RONTH .... a colloquial term used for referring to police night patrols of the neighbourhood, is the latest Malayalam movie that has dropped in on JioHotstar.

A rookie cop is paired up with a seasoned senior in a rural police station. The movie revolves around a night of their "Ronth" and how the night unfolds.

The movie beautifully weaves the uneasy relationship between the two , the senior giving a master class to the rookie on the philosophy of Policing , the monitoring of the patrols by the police control room, battling their personal demons & of course the departmental politics.

The variety of the incidents that they encounter from rescuing a child from a mentally challenged father to checking drunken driving is well scripted.

In one of the scenes , the senior stops to pick up mangoes that have fallen from a tree for his wife , tugs your heart .

As with Malayalam films when you think you have seen it all the end hits you with its unpredictability and shocks you.

Roshan Mathew as the Rookie Cop plays the perfect foil to Dileesh Pothan who plays the senior brilliantly

Watch RONTH which tells you that a movie without a heroine , songs , exotic locations or lavish sets can still grip you.

RONTH is yet another feather in the already overflowing crown of Malayalam films .

Good film must watch very realistic narrations , you can't find any overacting, no melodrama

Superb , No boring sequences Directed well also Dileesh pothan & Roshan Mathews did a wonderful job

you don't need big budgets or loud drama to make good movies, simple stories which has real life toching moments are enough

This film has following .. Realistic screenplay Engaging from start to finish ,no boring moments love the lifelike performances powerful direction for sure haunting atmosphere

Ronth and it's team. Will show industry how to make good movies in malayalam with out bluffing wrong theater collection details and marketing tactics to get the audience.

Ronth is a unique and intense one-night police procedural that explores the unseen emotional and moral weight of routine patrolling. Dileesh Pothan excels as a seasoned cop, and Roshan Mathew shines as the rookie learning fast on the job. The film captures the chaos and unpredictability of real-life police work-from domestic violence to suicide cases-all in one night.

But the final act is where it stumbles. Roshan's character suddenly makes irrational decisions that feel out of place, and the ending is abrupt, leaving the story feeling unfinished. The film had great buildup, but the conclusion lacked the depth and closure it deserved.

Still, worth watching for the performances and grounded storytelling.

To me, Ronth felt like the cinematic equivalent of the iPhone's Portrait Mode-the way it creates a sharp focus on the subject while softly blurring the background. Shahi Kabir achieves the same "depth-of-field" effect in storytelling, bringing Dileesh Pothan, Roshan Mathew, and Lekshmi Menon into sharp emotional focus. Their performances truly penetrate the screen and demand attention.

This film stands out for its realistic and grounded portrayal of the Kerala Police. It's one of the rare films that offers a clean, authentic look into the life and routine of a policeman-without overdramatization or distortion.

Dileesh Pothan and Roshan Mathew deliver solid, believable performances. They own their roles with the natural talent we've come to expect from them. But the real surprise was Lekshmi Menon. Her performance was extraordinary-deep, authentic, and emotionally layered. It makes one wonder why the Malayalam film industry hasn't tapped into her full potential before. This could very well be her breakthrough, and I genuinely hope to see her in more roles that allow her to shine.

However, I was personally let down by the tragic climax. It left some plot points unresolved, and I found myself wishing Shahi Kabir had opted for an open-ended finish-one that gave the audience space for interpretation. Instead, it leans toward a somber closure that felt a little too final for a story that had so many emotional layers.

Still, Ronth is a commendable effort and a fresh take in Malayalam cinema.
