The Archies: A Stylish Debut but Missing the Beat?

Hey, pals! Let's talk about this new movie called 'The Archies' directed by Zoya Akhtar. You might have heard about it—it's got some star-kids like Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor, and Agastya Nanda. But you know what? This movie has some cool stuff and some not-so-cool stuff too.

So, 'The Archies' is a movie that tries to look really stylish and cool, like those retro shows. You know, with all those groovy colors and vibes? It's got that 'Riverdale' vibe that looks really nice, especially with the camera work by Nikos Andritsakis.

But here's the thing—the story isn't as cool as how it looks. It's kind of like having a pretty gift box with not much inside. The movie focuses more on looking good than telling a really interesting story.

Now, Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor, and Agastya Nanda, who are making their debut, try their best. But some people say their acting feels a bit lazy and not very deep. However, Vedang Raina and Yuvraj Menda have this one really cool scene that stands out.

The songs in the movie are catchy, but some words might sound a bit strange, like 'Rawani, Zindagani, Zubaani.' It feels a bit odd for a '60s setting.

So, should you watch 'The Archies'? Well, it's a bit uncertain. If you like movies that look stylish but might not have a super exciting story, then maybe give it a try. But if you want a movie with both style and substance, you might want to check out other ones.
