Mathangi Nageswar

I felt the movie hero heroine scenes to be boring old fashioned repeated. There were many pockets in the movie when I was bored. But i love the fact that Hanu Man is made into a super hero. It’s been decades and we need next super hero after Shakthimaan. I am one who always questioned Avengers n Marvel craze when we ourself had mythology characters. I even dressed up my son during his kg in superman costume with Gadha n called him Hanu Man. So a big clap for this movie from that angle. Story concept is again good exploring immortality of Hanuman and vibheeshana. Action sequences are good too. Only I wish screen play was more engrossing.

Archie’s my fav fav comic from childhood where I binge read all books I got my hands on, I definitely had to see the movie. I must say uncle Lodge looks matched the book. Riverdale was vibrant and the English settings made you feel the vintage vibes. But I could not accept the characterisation of my favourite characters. A mild friendly Reggie, a serious Jughead and a closet gay Dilton!! No way I could accept that. Archie and Ronnie were not the same but bearable. I feel Betty was the only character that matched the personality of the book. Frankly I felt the performance of all actors could have been more powerful but as the film progressed the characters grow on you and the movie is gets good. It’s a light one time watch for those who don’t mind getting their fantasy mental image of Archie characters overwritten with this movie characterisations.
