After earning critical acclaim in theatres, Ronth, the Malayalam-language police procedural drama, is now streaming on JioCinema via Disney+ Hotstar. Directed and written by Shahil Kabir, the film features Dileesh Pothan as Grade SI Yohannan and Roshan Mathew as CPO Dinnath, in a dark, layered tale of duty, trauma, and uneasy brotherhood.
Released in theatres on June 13, 2025, Ronth now streams in five languages: Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Hindi.
The streaming platform announced the OTT premiere on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption, “The patrol has begun! #Ronth is now streaming exclusively on JioHotstar.”
Plot
Ronth tells the story of two very different police officers: one is an experienced and tired senior, and the other is a young and hopeful rookie. They are forced to work together on a night patrol during Christmas Eve. At first, they don’t get along, but as the night goes on, they face unexpected situations that make them question their beliefs and open up about their past.
The film shows the emotional struggles that come with being a police officer. It talks about fear, duty, grief, and the pressure to appear strong. As the two men slowly begin to understand each other, a shocking event at the end reminds us how human and vulnerable even tough cops can be.
