Didn't know it would be this bad... This movie was a big letdown. The story wasn't good at all, and the acting was even worse. There were parts that made me cringe, like when they kept saying "thank youuuu" over and over again. It was really irritating. Suhana's voice was very annoying, and Khushi's facial expressions made me want to skip her scenes. The songs were not pleasant to listen to either. Honestly, I can say that even if someone offered to pay me, I wouldn't watch this movie again. It was just that bad. I was really disappointed. Only the scenes were pretty but other than that please just don't watch this move!!!

The movie feels so forced and Suhana just does not know how to talk. She fumbles a lot and can't act and same with Nanda. How was the casting done? By being deaf or blind? On top of forced acting, there is a sad storyline which just doesn't captivate the audience. English or Hindi or whichever language you watch, it just feels cringe and extremely boring. I am wondering what is the target audience for this. They have taken a brilliant comic and made a joke out of it with extremely bad acting. It reminds me of how Sonam Kapoor tried to do Emma and made a fool out of herself but I would still rate her a 100 times over than this . The story here is bad, the dialogues aren't delivered well. It just feels that Zoya lost her plot there and wanted to shove some gibberish to the audience. Everything in this movie is bad. If there was an option of negative ratings, I would have wanted to give that. Zoya, why did you make this? And I am wondering why did I even watch this. Well, I dint finish it because I just couldn't.

The movie lacks the story and you can no talent interms of acting from these actors and when you see leads you will wonder how they even got this role. Especially character of Veronica, how can they give that role to someone who knows nothing. If you really want to watch something interesting watch Riverdale s1 &2. There are so many songs in the movie which are no way near catchy. The whole reason why Riverdale was so successful because they used good old music and in case of bollywood they already had that too but they still tried making new music and boy it sucks. Nothing interesting about movie, please ignore.

Sorry, but this turned out to be a nothingburger of a film. Efforts are visible on the visual aesthetics front, especially in creating a Riverdale that almost looks and feels real (most of it is shot in Ooty and Mumbai's Aarey area), but the same doesn't translate to the storytelling or performances. Given it's a musical, there's a song breaking out every 5-7 minutes in the first hour, and with a very basic love triangle at its core (which is casually treated in the comics), the lack of disconnect becomes evident. Another central issue begins brewing in the backdrop, and this takes up a bulk of the film's second half. In fact, it almost felt like a breather when there was no song popping up for a stretch of 30 minutes or so. This offered valuable time to understand key characters beyond their peripheries. Also, since the film requires Indianizing these comic-book characters, there are some interesting touches. For instance, Jughead is a hardcore foodie but also the guy who questions Archie about his two-timing. Also, it was an inspired storytelling choice not to make Betty and Veronica compromise their friendship for the sake of fickle teenage love. Reggie isn't just the good-looking second fiddle, but he carries the most empathetic core in all of Riverdale. All of this only makes sense when there's enough to make you care for its niche Anglo-Indian characters with niche Anglo-Indian problems. Amongst the 16 tracks, "In Raahon Mein" and "Yeh Saari Aawazein" are hummable with that quintessential Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy signature. The rest rely on their visual presentation, especially the Dear Diary tracks by Dot. I don't know what to make of the performances overall, but no one really stood out. I may need to see them in more films to make a better assessment (even Jr. Bachchan took years to become a seasoned performer, mind you!). As an "ensemble", they do display watchable (?) levels of chemistry. That diverts it from turning into a complete trainwreck. Endnote: Grabbing an Archies double digest to remind myself how GOOD it feels to flip through the pages!

I don't know what we were expecting but this was not it. Sets and stuff was quite good but generally speaking I lost interest in the first 15 minutes. Awkward acting, nothing engaging. Fell flat . There was Zero chemistry between any two characters. I'm trying really hard to point out positives but more than the sets or the intro ... nothing else was engaging or likeable. For a story line or characters that have been so over told ... How they missed to make this barely watchable is surprising. The netflix series Riverdale was painful but this movie just made the series seem worth watching:p Put me in a daze.

Oh my God what a waste of time. Suhana khan does not know how to act just like his dad shahrukh khan. She doesn't have any beauty nor khushi kapoor. No story, no acting no screen play only boring music every other minute . Doesn't accept such a horrible movie from Zoya akhtar. I love her movies like Dil dharakne do. But this movie is a super flop with super flop actors and actresses. The film was so boring To be honest i couldn't tolerate Suhana khan and every other actor acting in the movie. I had such high hopes from this movie and from Zoya akhtar but she has failed terribly. Please save ur time and watch Shaun the Sheep cartoons instead!

I had been an admant Archies reader and I am so sorry to say that if I have come to the conclusion that this movies is marry shellys Frankenstein Archies, I would like to see the end very same an isolated Frankenstein isolated with his creator in an abandoned island . The least Pya could have done was introduce the characters to the new audience the viewer has zero attachment to the green park, the audience has zero clue on who is Archies who is Monika who is juggerhead. Everything is so messed up if I couldn't see it half way through I am sure most have not. Over all I'll say Zoya Akhtar is solely responsible for this Frankenstein creation. Even Robert de niro looked good in marry shellys Frankenstein. Kuddos to Zoya for destroying a classic. Ban her.

The Archies is a movie set in the 1960s where you will hardly find any element to make you feel that way. This is a highly unrealistic, impractical movie which has been produced just to launch the already privileged ones. The acting has been pathetic by most actors and they can't connect with the audience whatsoever. Suhana Khan is nowhere near to the legacy of her father. Agastya Nanda hasn't acted any better as well. The acting was way too lifeless without any expressions and emotions. I suppose last name shouldn't be the only criteria for casting actors in a film. Overall the movie is a strict NO NO! Avoid it even if it doesn't cost you anything extra monetarily. After all time is also money, right?

I'm sorry what? If they wanted an Indian adaptation they could've done a simple believable story. It started with a such a ridiculous self effacing colonialism loving bootlicking concept. Its so tone deaf they have no idea people are reclaiming their lands, their origins and a story which makes half Indians half colonizers look superior and unique, is not going to fly well with the audiences. This is neither for Indians, nor NRIs nor the International audience who will be absolutely clueless because they have been brought up on slumdog Millionaire and will consider this a wannabe project. It makes its proximity to whiteness as a USP and is a leap ahead of something Karan Johar would make. Again self effacing as can be. I have to say I like Suhana Khan's debut a lot. Nothing against her she looks like a beautiful humble girl, a really promising actress and really believable for this role. I think she is meant for much grittier cinema. I am so excited for her future she has her dad's easy charisma and relatability but this show is not it. Wish her the best and would love to see more of her in future.

What a horrible one this was. Wanted to just abandon the movie mid-way. Poor direction, poor storyline, poor acting. The actors didn't even look good. Their accents were funny. Seems like Zoya Akhtar made this movie just for a few Bandra houses. Amitabh Bachchan's grandson is not hero material at all. Suhana Khan didn't fit well. She is similar to Swara Bhasker. Rich roles won't suit them. Khushi Kapoor looked funny. Other actors looked plastic. Wasn't able to find one thing to praise in the whole movie. Maybe some other director could've saved the film. The casting too was poor. All that hype and promotion came down to nothing.
