CRITICAL RESPONSE

Ronth, directed by Shahi Kabir, has received largely positive reviews, with critics praising its grounded storytelling, realistic portrayal of police life, and strong performances by Dileesh Pothan and Roshan Mathew. The film is widely acknowledged as a gritty police procedural that balances personal dilemmas with institutional critique. While many reviewers appreciated the nuanced narrative and haunting atmosphere, some pointed out the recurrence of Shahi Kabir’s familiar tropes, hinting at creative repetition. The cinematic tone draws comparisons with international films like Training Day, but with a distinctly Malayalam flavor, emphasizing emotional conscience over stylized thrill. Themes of disillusionment, loss of innocence, and socio-political undercurrents are prominent. Standout aspects include the screenplay’s emotional depth, the authenticity of the setting, and the tension-filled dynamics between the lead characters. However, not all critics were fully impressed — some felt that while the drama is engaging, it is occasionally predictable or treads familiar paths.

Verdict:

Ronth is a dark, introspective, and well-crafted police drama that succeeds in offering both tension and emotional heft. For fans of realistic crime thrillers and character-driven narratives, it’s a worthy addition to Shahi Kabir’s filmography, despite some narrative déjà vu.
