The Archies Twitter Review:
The Archies Story:
Filled with contemporary concerns, the film manages to strike a delightful balance between simplicity and stylistic brilliance.
Set against the backdrop of a small hill town, The Archies offers a believable universe that encapsulates the essence of love, friendship, and heartbreak. The narrative follows a group of high school friends navigating the twists and turns of life, all while being wrapped in the bubble of music and laughter.
As the spirited youngsters journey through the maze of teenage emotions, they discover that life encompasses more than just dates, parties, and camaraderie. The film beautifully captures the essence of youthful exuberance and subtly hints that one is never too young to spark a revolution.
At its core, The Archies revolves around the lives of seven friends – Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, Reggie, Ethel, and Dilton. Together, they embark on a mission to save their quaint town, Riverdale, adding a touch of adventure to their coming-of-age story.
The Archies Cast & Director:
What makes this musical even more exciting is the debut of star kids Suhana Khan, Agastya Nanda, and Khushi Kapoor. Alongside the main cast, seasoned actors like Koel Purie, Santana Roach, Tara Sharma Saluja, and Delnaaz Irani add their charm to the ensemble.
With Zoya Akhtar’s directorial finesse and a fresh cast, The Archies promises a delightful blend of nostalgia, music, and youthful rebellion.

Another user says the acting of the lead characters’ acting is not proper and the only saving grace is the supporting cast, and set design.
#TheArchies on Netflix is a disaster! Zoya Akhtar direction butchers the original comic story.Nepo kids like #SuhanaKhan,#KhushiKapoor, #AgastyaNanda etc can't speak Hindi properly or act. Total time waste, avoid it! Few positives : side characters act better, set design is good pic.twitter.com/CK4ZYlhG8q

Anmol Jamwal says, “A soft launch for star kids indeed and a brochure for producers ahead of their merits and demerits. “

The film is a surface level/hollow Archies card that someone gets gifted on their birthday and it occupies the shelf of your house, never for you to revisit pic.twitter.com/BfAFe0ufEM

#TheArchies Review : ⭐⭐
The concept no one asked for, The world no one wanted to witness.
A string of star kids & #ZoyaAkhtar couldn't save the irrelevant world of riverdale. The stylish Wardrobe and the soothing locations are only bearable things from film.#TheArchiesReview pic.twitter.com/0RgDFWjD1O— Harsh Bhatt (@iharsh_18) December 7, 2023
The entire Eco system wakes up from a slumber for #TheArchies
You'll hear a lot of superlatives to describe this movie now.
