The Archies Twitter Review: Fans Praise Musical But Say Suhana Khan Was Meant For Veronica

The highly anticipated Netflix musical film “The Archies” was released on Wednesday, starring celebrity children Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor, and Agastya Nanda. Directed by Zoya Akhtar, the coming-of-age story based on the classic Archie comics has received a mostly positive response on social media.

The film follows Archie, Betty, Veronica, and their friends enjoying their youthful days in 1960s India. Conflict erupts when Veronica’s father plans to sell a beloved park to build a hotel—this threat to their carefree lifestyle seeds interpersonal tensions.

Fans on Twitter widely praised the young cast’s song-and-dance numbers and musical performances. However, some noted lead actress Suhana Khan seemed miscast as the sweet Betty Cooper, opining that she was better suited for the bold Veronica Lodge role.

Co-written by Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti, “The Archies” marks the acting debut of all the young leads except Dot. Despite mixed opinions about some casting and character development, most reviewers applauded the film’s musical spirit and energetic young talent.

Zoya Akhtar, known for slice-of-life stories, partners with producers Tiger Baby and Graphic India to bring the Archie Comics classic to 1960s India through song, angst, and friendship. Time will tell whether this conditions a new generation for more stories from Riverdale.
