Brilliant, Gripping, Emotionally Captivating: Shahi Kabir's "Ronth" Gets Raves On Social Media

Malayalam director Shahi Kabir’s latest Malayalam film Ronth hit theatres on Friday, and it’s already stirring conversations. Known for his hard-hitting narratives, such as Nayattu and Ela Veezha Poonchira, Shahi Kabir returns with a tense, emotionally charged story about two patrol officers working a fraught night shift.

As they respond to dangerous calls, personal tensions simmer beneath the surface, threatening to erupt. Produced by Rathish Ambat, the film features a strong ensemble cast including Dileesh Pothan, Roshan Mathew, Lakshmi Menon, and Sudhi Koppa. The screenplay, also penned by Kabir, continues his signature exploration of morally grey characters and the psychological strain of duty. Now, let’s take a look at what the audience says bout the movie.

One moviegoer remarked that after the more superficial Officer On Duty, Shahi Kabir has made a powerful comeback with Ronth. They described the film as “terrific in every sense,” noting that it manages to leave audiences gasping for breath without relying on bloodshed, excessive violence, or explicit scenes. According to them, Ronth stands out as one of the best films of the year.

The viewer also singled out Dileesh Pothan’s performance, saying he “absolutely kills it,” and applauded the film’s visual execution and immersive tone.”

A film enthusiast wrote: “one of the best films of the year, and one of Shahi Kabir’s best works so far. Like every other screenplay of his, this one too is super atmospheric, and extremely haunting. The performances by Dileesh Pothan and Roshan are brilliant to say the least.”


Taking to the X platform, another viewer wrote: “Intense cop drama with amazing performances by #RoshanMathew & #DileeshPothan who explores the complex realities of police work through the contrasting characters of a rookie and a seasoned officer. Real, raw, and totally gripping movie.
