Ronth (transl. Patrol) is a 2025 Indian Malayalam crime thriller film written and directed by Shahi Kabir and produced by Vineet Jain, Rathish Ambat, Renjith EVM, and Jojo Jose, under Junglee Pictures[2][3] and Festival Cinemas.[4] It stars Dileesh Pothan and Roshan Mathew in the lead roles.[5][6][7] The film is a spiritual successor to and set in the same creative universe as 2021 film Nayattu.[8]
Ronth is the story of Sub‑Inspector Yohannan and rookie cop Dinanath as they patrol the city in the night, and attend to various cases like a suicide, a mentally unstable violent man terrorizing neighbors, domestic violence, and the elopement of a girl from a wealthy family with a boy from a poor family. Dinanath's father died by suicide, and the incident left him traumatized. Yohannan and his wife had a stillbirth, which made his wife mentally unstable. He is the sole caregiver for his wife. Dinanath lacks experience and reacts emotionally to situations. At the same time, Yohannan, a seasoned police officer, is both frustrated and amused by Dinanath's inexperience. The wealthy and influential family of the girl who eloped with her boyfriend kills one of the daughter's boyfriend' friend, and Yohannan and Dinanath are framed for the murder by his superior, who is a friend of the influential family. Dinanath panics when he is arrested and tries to run away, and comes under a truck that kills him instantly. Yohannan vows to fight for his innocence in court.
