About the film

The film revolves around Sub Inspector Yohannan (Dileesh Pothan) and his junior, Dinanath (Roshan Mathew), on night patrol duty. As the senior imparts lessons on observation and restraint, the younger officer gives back in witty ways, setting up a layered exploration of duty, mentorship, and the quiet power struggles between the two. It released in theatres on June 13 and opened to positive reviews.

Ronth is inspired by director Shahi Kabir's own experience as a former cop. Speaking about the film, Shahi Kabir has said, "While writing Ronth, I drew inspiration from my time as a cop and from my interpersonal relationship with my colleagues on duty. This is a world I've lived in, and through these characters, I hope the audience gets a glimpse into the human, more realistic side of policing, while also experiencing the emotional and gripping drama the film has to offer."
