Storyline
A couple in a forest village, long childless, find an orphaned baby and decide to raise him. Their joy turns to trouble when a tiger appears at the same time, and the superstitious villagers blame the baby for the danger. The situation worsens when forest officers lock down the village to catch the tiger, preventing pilgrims from leaving and raising tensions over the child's fate.
“A child's arrival brings a village's fears to life.”

Trivia
- The film's director Ayyappan Subramani is also a professional still photographer, and he handled the cinematography for Rooban himself.
- The tiger in the story is not created with CGI; the production used footage of a real tiger from a wildlife sanctuary.
- Rooban is a low-budget independent film shot extensively in real village locations in and around the Nilgiris district.
- The film subtly incorporates the ritual of 'Ayyappan Vrata' (vow) as a plot device, reflecting a common practice in South Indian Hindu culture.
- Actor Mime Gopi, who plays a key role, is known for his villainous characters but portrays a more nuanced villager here.
- The movie had a very limited theatrical release, primarily in Tamil Nadu, and quickly became available on streaming platforms.
- The story draws inspiration from real-life human-animal conflict reports from forest-border villages in Tamil Nadu.
