The Archies (2023)
6/10
Celebrate your memories

Anwar Says: Don't expect wonders from this Zoya Akhtar's Netflix release, just enjoy the nostalgia and childhood vibes sweep through every sequence. Don't expect star kids to do something extraordinary , just enjoy their innocuity and singing about everything . May not have the brilliance of Zoya's earlier films but the audience born in'60s and '70s would correlate and remember the railways book stall, where Archie's comics were available.

Mention of Cliff,Elvis and Beatles, bottles of Goldspot, ad of Cinthol soap on radio and icecream Sundays with Jughead, Betty, Veronica, Reggie, Dilton and Ethel around at Riverdale , what else you need to remember your adolescence. Coming to the performance , Khushi Kapoor as Betty and Vedang Rainna as Reggie looked matured. You can figure out Suhana Khan , as daughter of Shahrukh Khan , when she speaks. Aagastya Nanda as Archie has acting in his genes from his Nana and Nani.

Nobody has been shown as real villain, even Reggie doesn't envy Archie, both Betty and Ronnie love Archie but not at the cost of their bonding. Enjoy the lyrics of Javed Saheb with brilliance of Shankar- Ehsaan-Loy revisited music of ,60s. I would recommend a must one-time watch.
