Raghav Juyal’s journey in the entertainment industry is nothing short of inspiring. From showcasing his signature slow-motion dance moves on Dance India Dance to proving his acting prowess in Kill, he has come a long way. Now, with his first-ever IIFA win, it’s the perfect time to look back at his incredible journey and the standout performances that have earned him the love and admiration of fans worldwide.
Kill (2024)
If there was ever a moment that solidified Raghav Juyal as an actor, Kill was it. As the terrifying and unpredictable Fani, he delivered a performance so raw, brutal, and spine-chilling that audiences were left shaken, praises came in like a flood, with many admitting they couldn’t even recognize him on screen. His unhinged portrayal of a ruthless antagonist was nothing short of spectacular, making his IIFA win for Best Actor in a Negative Role not just well deserved but inevitable.
Yudhra (2024)
Taking a leap into the action-thriller genre, Yudhra saw Raghav stepping up his game. Playing Shafiq, he seamlessly blended humor with high-stakes intensity, proving he could hold his own in high-energy action sequences. Whether it was his on-screen presence or his ability to switch between lighthearted charm and serious moments, he made sure the audience’s attention never shifted from him whenever he was on-screen.
Gyaarah Gyaarah (2024)
In Gyaarah Gyaarah, a time-bending crime thriller, Raghav played Inspector Yug Arya, a character caught in a mystery that spans different timelines. His portrayal of a man navigating this complex puzzle was incredibly real, the way his expressions subtly reflected both confusion and urgency made the performance stand out. It was a mature, layered act that proved he could command attention even in a serious, gripping storyline.
Abhay 2 (2020)
If there was ever a performance that shattered expectations, it was this. Up until then, Raghav was known for his comic timing and effortless charm so when he appeared as a psychotic serial killer in Abhay 2, audiences didn’t know what hit them, cold, calculating, and disturbingly eerie, he made sure his presence sent chills down the spine. It was dark, it was intense, and it was the kind of performance that made people sit up and say, “Wait, is this really Raghav Juyal?”
Bahut Hua Samman (2020)
Comedy comes naturally to Raghav, and Bahut Hua Samman was proof of that. Playing Bony, an engineering student caught in a hilariously messy heist, he delivered laugh out loud moments with impeccable ease. But it wasn’t just the jokes his natural screen presence made him a standout and showing that he could own a character and make it his own.
ABCD Franchise
By the time ABCD 2 hit theaters, everyone knew Raghav as the slow-motion king. But his role in the film added a whole new dimension to his persona. As Crockroaxz, he wasn’t just the guy with cool dance moves he was the guy everyone rooted for. His effortless charm, witty one-liners, and cheerfulness made him an instant fan favorite and when he returned in Street Dancer 3D, it only cemented what we already knew Raghav Juyal wasn’t just a dancer, he was an entertainer through and through.
