Ronth trailer: Roshan Mathew and Dileesh Pothan trade barbs during night patrols somewhere in Shahi Kabir's ‘cop universe'
Ronth trailer: 'People here behave not because of courts or laws, but because they're scared of getting thrashed by the cops,' Sub Inspector Yohannan (Dileesh Pothan) tells his subordinate Dinanath (Roshan Mathew) during one of their patrols. As the promo progresses, we see a few more instances of Yohannan assertively lecturing the young officer on how to conduct himself as a cop, while the latter listens with visible disinterest. In fact, the trailer for writer-director Shahi Kabir's Ronth unfolds through a series of patrols by the two officers, during which they encounter various tasks; most of them mundane, but some risky. 'I'm on duty with that douchebag Yohannan tonight. He's been pestering me for quite some time now,' Dinanath tells a woman over the phone at the beginning of the 132-second trailer, highlighting the tension in their relationship. Yet when duty calls, he has no choice but to obey his senior officer. Throughout the promo, Yohannan is cold and condescending toward Dinanath, who, in turn, keeps his distance. 'You're on driver duty, right? So, you do that alone! I'm the officer here; I know what to do,' Yohannan snaps at Dinanath in front of others. Later, during a night patrol, Dinanath pushes back with, 'I'm on driver duty, right? So I know how to handle this,' after Yohannan tells him to go slowly. Still, when his superior gives an order, Dinanath has no choice but to comply, even while enduring constant insults. As the promo nears its end, the two find themselves in increasingly tense situations, with their lives potentially at risk. 'A gripping cop drama which follows a stoic senior police officer haunted by his past and his idealistic young partner assigned to night patrols. Their clashing personalities ignite tension, but as a series of intense and emotional events unfold, a reluctant bond begins to form. When a life-threatening incident threatens their careers, both must confront their deepest fears and darkest truths to survive the shadows of duty,' the movie's synopsis reads. Known for crafting cop stories, Ronth is former police officer Shahi Kabir's second directorial venture after Ela Veezha Poonchira (2022). It is also his fourth screenplay, following Joseph (2018), Nayattu (2021) and Officer on Duty (2025). Also starring Sudhi Koppa, Arun Cherukavil, Krisha Kurup, Nandanunni, Lakshmi Menon and Baby Nandhootty, the movie features music by Anil Johnson, cinematography by Manesh Madhavan, and editing by Praveen Mangalath. Ronth is set to hit theatres on Friday, June 13.
