Yeah.. But Bollywood desperately needs a good actress whose acting skills should be top notch and after going through all the promos and songs of #TheArchies, I think #SuhanaKhan would fulfill those voids. Wait and watch !!

However, not all reactions were positive. Some fans expressed disappointment, claiming that the images look beautiful but the content lacks soul. A critical voice stated, “All actors sound unreal and stupid. The Archies looks like an expensive urban mess which most of the audience can’t relate with. Music is bad and It seems like there’s a divide among the audience, with some embracing the nostalgia and others finding the adaptation lacking in authenticity.
was there some kinda mandate on the archies set to not act? did the actors have to make it seem like they were reading lines off a giant board placed off-screen?

What a terrible terrible trailer for The Archies. Expressions and dialogue delivery of the obvious hypes is a let down.
