WHY YOU SHOULD STREAM The Archies - TIPS FROM JUSTWATCH
Rachel Ulatowski
Written on January 13, 2025 Streamed on Netflix
Perfect for fans of Archie Comics and musicals
"The Archies puts a new spin on Archie Comics by bringing readers' favorite characters to India in a musical and politically-charged story. It's familiar enough that viewers will feel nostalgia as they watch Archie (Agastya Nanda) and the gang get up to their usual high school antics. However, there's a hint of newness in the unique soundtrack that mixes 60s rock n' roll with Bollywood music and in the students being aware of social and political issues. The film is ultimately a very Archie Comics-reminiscent project, elevated by catchy tunes and interesting political commentary."

Excellent for fans of the original comics and anyone who loves a fun, breezy story
"The Hindi film The Archies puts a new spin on an American classic, weaving a new tale about the iconic Archies and their quest to save the town of Riverdale. Filled with romance, comedy, music, and dancing, the movie is perfect for anyone who loved films like Hairspray or La La Land. Watching an Indian take on the comic is also really interesting and fun, and will be especially enjoyable for viewers who crave something new and unique. If you love stories set in the 60s, great music, and a fun vibe, you'll love The Archies."
