Zoya Akhtar's 'The Archies' promotional material draws mixed reactions on  social media | Mint

Zoya Akhtar’s upcoming film “The Archies,” set to release on Netflix in 2023, has been generating mixed reactions on social media as its promotional material begins to surface. Based on the popular Archie Comics franchise, the movie features a talented cast including Mihir Ahuja, Khushi Kapoor, and Suhana Khan, daughter of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. With promises of a musical experience filled with youth, rebellion, friendships, and first loves, the film aims to capture the hearts of audiences across generations.

However, as Netflix unveils the new poster, the online community appears to be divided in their response. Some users took to trolling the film, expressing their skepticism and criticizing what they perceive as a lack of originality. On the other hand, there are those who eagerly anticipate the release, hoping for a captivating cinematic experience. The contrasting reactions reflect the diverse opinions and expectations surrounding the film.

Netflix India tweeted, “Get ready to hold your breath because #TheArchies are about to unleash their magic!” This announcement further fueled discussions among users, with some expressing concerns about the perceived nepotism in the industry. The debate over star kids and opportunities in the film industry has been a sensitive topic in recent years, intensifying after the untimely demise of actor Sushant Singh Rajput and triggering conversations about fairness and equal opportunities.

Amidst the mixed reactions, fans of the Archie Comics series eagerly await the film’s release and the chance to see beloved characters like Veronica Lodge come to life on the screen. The film’s depiction of the fictional town of Riverdale in the 60s holds the potential to captivate audiences with its blend of nostalgia and contemporary storytelling.

Despite the online debate and criticisms, “The Archies” is still set to hit screens later this year, with Netflix aiming to bring the iconic comic book characters to a new generation of viewers. As anticipation builds, fans and critics alike await the film’s release and hope that it lives up to the expectations and delivers an enjoyable cinematic experience.

In an industry marked by constant scrutiny and evolving conversations, the reception of “The Archies” reflects the complexity of the current Indian film landscape, where social media plays a significant role in shaping public opinion and generating diverse perspectives.
