Looking for your next crime thriller fix? If you’re the kind of Bollywood buff who secretly binges Malayalam films for their raw, realistic storytelling and spine-tingling suspense, Ronth might just be your latest obsession. This film doesn’t whisper drama—it roars with it.
Directed and written by Shahi Kabir, Ronth throws us into the tense, unpredictable world of two patrol cops whose seemingly normal night turns into an unraveling nightmare. Think Office On Duty but darker, moodier, and with a sinister twist that creeps up on you.
One Night. Countless Cases. Zero Breathing Room.
The plot is tight, like the clasp of handcuffs. We follow two police officers, played convincingly by Arun Cherukavil and Sudhi Koppa, as they hit the streets for what should be a routine night shift. But routine goes out the window when emergency calls start flooding in—one after the other.

Each case? More disturbing than the last.
From a missing girl to a deranged madman to a spine-chilling crime involving a woman, the night descends into chaos. The deeper they dig, the more tangled the night gets—and at the heart of it all lies one case that ties everything together like the final twist in a whodunit.
Curious? Oh, you should be.
Performances That Bite
The casting here isn’t about big stars; it’s about impact. Alongside the leads, you’ll see stellar work by Krisha Kurup, Rajesh Madhavan, and in supporting roles, sharp appearances from Roshan Mathew, Lakshmi Menon, Dileesh Pothan, and Roshan Abdul. Even the youngest of the cast, Baby Nandhotti, holds her ground like a pro.
These aren’t performances that demand attention—they earn it.
