The Negative Reviews
Well, many people also think this musical film set in the 1960s is a total waste of time for the viewers. A Twitter user also called it Zoya Akhtar’s weakest film as a director. The users criticised the accents used by the actors in the film and called it an unnecessary addition. Viewers also felt aloof from the film, its story and its music. They had a hard time resonating with the characters too. It also left some viewers disappointed with the fact that The Archies destroyed the original comic story.
Dont know what but, something’s aloof in #TheArchies
Cant connect to the characters, cant connect to this part of “india”
Cant connect to the music.— YSmusic (@yatsmusical) December 7, 2023
#TheArchies on Netflix is a disaster! Zoya Akhtar direction butchers the original comic story.Nepo kids like #SuhanaKhan,#KhushiKapoor, #AgastyaNanda etc can’t speak Hindi properly or act. Total time waste, avoid it! Few positives : side characters act better, set design is good pic.twitter.com/CK4ZYlhG8q

#TheArchies is a decent movie, but for optimal enjoyment, I recommend watching it in English. The nepo kids performance in Hindi lacks the finesse found in the English dub. Like seriously HINDI VERSION feels so wannabe and lacks authenticity 😁 2.5/5

Did they put in so many songs in The Archies cause the plot is non-existent??
