Take a Bow Zoya Akhtar!!!!..... such a heartwarming and refreshing flick . Everyone right from Archie , Veronica, Betty , Jughead , Reggie , Dot , and Dilton....perfectly cast and their performances extremely beleivable . I had an extremely wonderful thursday evening watching this fun , nostalgic , refreshing , zesty , musical flick... The important message(s) of community , loyal friendships , environmental responsibility ....all are extremely beautifully interwoven by Zoya and team . The simple thought that every child in riverdale , once they reach age of 5 will plant a tree ....it's so refreshing to see a hindi film evoking such practical positivity which is easy to follow , as a result we proposed this in our housing society and everyone agrees!!!! this is the power of good , clean , positive and well made movie . Archies comics have been a part of my childhood , and Zoya bringing it back to life in an Indian version is just so awesome.... well done and congratulations to the entire team ..... special mention to that one particular scene between Dilton and Reggie ..... it was beyond mature ....heartwarming to see such a beautifully written and well enacted scene.... omg.... i'll watch it again during Christmas with my family ..... . AND PUHLEAAASSSEEEE !!! the PLEBS who are complaining about nepotism blah blah blah ...... STFU...... this is an extremely well made flick ...... plus the performances are excellent considering it's their first film !!!! the people criticizing The Archies are behaving as if bollywood produces oscar worthy flicks every other week.... that GHASTLY ANIMAL !!!! yuck....... THE ARCHIES is a film for the urban folks .....so obviously narrow minded people will never understand it .
This is great film making .......a must watch by people who want to consume fun , urban , positive cinema . definitely a 5 star .
