20 Tweets To Read Before Watching Zoya Akhtar’s ‘The Archies’ On Netflix

The moment we all have been waiting for is here as Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies is streaming on our television screens now.

This coming-of-age musical revolves around the lives of seven friends: Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, Reggie, Ethel and Dilton, and how the gang saves their little town, Riverdale.

The show marks the debut of Suhana Khan, Agastya Nanda and Khushi Kapoor. Apart from the main cast, Koel Purie, Santana Roach, Tara Sharma Saluja and Delnaaz Irani will also be seen in the movie.

Here’s what the audience thought of the movie:

Everything looks slightly forced. The person playing Mrs Lodge and Veronica Lodge is most cringe. Least impressionable character sadly happens to be #SuhanaKhan. #TheArchies

Why is Suhana’s Body language so weird 🤷🏼‍♂️#TheArchies

Have been a huge Archies fan since my teen days. Those characters were based in America, this Indian Archies based in 1960s is #TheArchies

Dont know what but, something’s aloof in #TheArchies
Cant connect to the characters, cant connect to this part of “india”
Cant connect to the music.

#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

#TheArchies is a decent movie, but for optimal enjoyment, I recommend watching it in English. The nepo kids performance in Hindi lacks the finesse found in the English dub. Like seriously HINDI VERSION feels so wannabe and lacks authenticity 😁 2.5/5

Suhana Khan and Khushi Kapoor are really good in #TheArchies & Zoya Akhtar carefully manages to get the nostalgia right. Do I wish the accents were less affected? Yes. Did I still manage to get past that? Also yes.

The entire Eco system wakes up from a slumber for #TheArchies

You'll hear a lot of superlatives to describe this movie now.

Riverdale backstory is totally digestable #TheArchies @NetflixIndia

#AgastyaNanda effortlessly captures the essence of Archie’s character, showcasing a remarkable screen presence in #TheArchies! Amazing debut must say, looking forward to more of him.. pic.twitter.com/0aU34yUoLB
