One day a person may not be enough to know from inside, but the royal Kabir melody Almost us attains the impossible to give a glimpse in the hearts and minds of two people not one, but during the same night. The author-director draws it not through the grand scenarios, but through important small details, which is sprinkled throughout the film. These are the types of details that can only be absorbed by those who live through the same scenarios, which Kabir has as a former police officer.
For example, the scene where a senior policeman admits a bribe to close a priest involved in a road accident. In most films, such a scene, as part of the character delimitation without much relations for large stories, will end there. Instead, here, it spreads to the next scene in the police jeep, where the policeman explains to his junior that the money is not for him, but to pay for the jeep repair, because it takes a long time to get compensation from the department. Thus this scene gradually turns into a comment on the system, the rest of the film.
‘Ronth’ (Malayalam)
Director: Shahi Kabir
Mold: Dilesh Pothan, Roshan Matthew, Lakshmi Menon
Run-time: 122 minutes
Story: On night patrol, two police get entangled in a difficult situation that can endanger their career
Ronth, as the name suggests, revolves around the night patrol duties of two policemen: Dinanath (Roshan Mathew), a fraudulent police, and Yohanan (D. Pothan), a senior officer, harden years in service. Kabir is not going here for a traditional police procedural, but chooses a story with an episodic structure like Abid Shine Action hero BijuBut unlike the later film, the episodes here are mostly serious. During the night, we see the small town cross-cross-cross-cross-relatively interfere with a range of small issues. These small episodes provide us with attractive insight into the nature of duty, while at the same time we provide a glimpse in the inner life of these two men.
It was very thought to have gone to writing the character of Yohnan, which also dislikes him as the progress of the story along with Dinanath’s raids. This is an entertaining character study at an age when we create quick opinions about people or issues based on viral reels that are rarely a minute long. With both the characters and their developed dynamies take a lot of screen time, actors need to tap into an entire gamal of emotions, which they do well. Dilesh Pothan “there was” done, “the experienced police squeezed, while Roshan Matthew excellently in portraying the vested perimeter and naivete of a novice.

After jOasafNayatu, Ila Visa Poonchira And Duty officerShahi Kabir continues to tap in his experiences in the police department, mining unusual stories that portray an ineffective picture of force. Even though the story seems to be these small, through the disconnected episodes, the taut script ensures that the film remains attractive across. A misunderstanding, perhaps, is in the climate sequence, when it seemed to the author, with a difficult situation, chose out in an easy way. But then, it could have been an option determined by a landscape from which the tragedy was the only way.
