Radhika Loya

Radhika Loya’s name might not be everywhere—yet—but if you’re into Indian cinema, you’ve probably caught her work, maybe without even realizing it. Her breakout role in “Raat Akeli Hai” (2020) put her on the map; that movie’s got this gritty, noir vibe, and honestly, she just fits right in. It’s one of those whodunits where nobody’s as innocent as they seem, and she manages to hold her own among some seriously seasoned actors. Now, “Unpaused” (2020) is a totally different beast. It dropped during the pandemic, when everybody was going stir crazy. The film’s more of an anthology, weaving together stories about hope, change, and, yeah, a little bit of heartbreak. Radhika’s performance is nuanced—not showy, but definitely memorable. She brings a realness that’s hard to fake, honestly. And then there’s “Dhoom Dhaam,” which, okay, hasn’t actually come out yet (2025, hurry up already). People are already buzzing about it, though, so safe to say expectations are sky-high. She’s rumored to take on a central role, and if her previous work is anything to go by, she’ll probably steal the show again. She’s got this knack for picking diverse projects—never just the same old, same old. Whether it’s a suspense thriller, a slice-of-life drama, or whatever genre mashup “Dhoom Dhaam” turns out to be, Radhika Loya’s name is one you’ll want to watch.
