Ravin Makhija

Ravin Makhija’s career is a bit of a rollercoaster, honestly—he’s not one of those “household name” types, but if you spend even a little time poking around Indian web series or indie films, his name pops up more than you’d expect. He’s got a knack for picking those projects that don’t just blend into the background. Take Inside Edge (2017), for example. That show didn’t just ride the cricket craze in India—it yanked it up a notch with a gritty, behind-the-scenes look at the game, spiced up with scandal, ambition, and a whole lot of ego clashes. It’s not just about cricket; it’s about the messiness behind the glamour. Makhija wasn’t the loudest character, but he added this layer of quiet intensity that, honestly, some of the flashier actors just couldn’t pull off. Then you’ve got Love Sleep Repeat (2019), which is a totally different vibe. It’s lighter, more quirky, riding on that whole millennial confusion and romance thing. Relationships, bad decisions, second chances—Makhija fits right in with the offbeat energy, keeping things from getting too cheesy or predictable. Now, Zebra (2024) is the one people are buzzing about lately. Details are still kind of hush-hush, but from what’s out there, it looks like another left-field pick for him. Supposedly, it’s got some dark comedy, maybe a hint of social commentary. That’s so his style—never the obvious choice, always a little bit off-center. If you’re into actors who don’t just play it safe, he’s definitely worth keeping an eye on.
