The Archies (2023)

Review by eldreddsouza

The Archies

8/10

Flawless direction by Zoya!

Now I get that this film isn't for everyone. For eg. A KGF 2 stan or an Animal movie enjoyer obviously won't like this film. Cause they are not the target audience in the first place. But they will still watch it and give their comments on the film, mean, harsh or downright disrespectful. But they won't sit down to discuss the technical aspects, etc.

This film is technically superior to other films, ones that Have even released in theatres. Director Zoya is a master at her craft and you will see perfection in all the shots, angles, frames, camerawork in general, etc. The film is shot beautifully and masterfully. The setting is just on point and makes you feel like you're transported to a different world.

This film has heart. The emotional connect bw the characters has been beautifully established by the director. The story though simple, just connects with you. The musical numbers are nice and fantastically choreographed. The new bunch of actors shine in these musical scenes. They all have such good screen presence. Agastya I think he's a sure shot future star. He possesses charm and is smooth and just breezes through his role. Suhana seems to have gone into a character which may resonate with some and less with others. That's fine though cuz I believe she has potential. She was nice though and def shone in some scenes. Khushi is just beautiful and has good screen presence. Her smile and expressions and body movements are just on point and she has character. It's a good sign since she obv wants to establish her career in the industry. Rest everyone, Dot., Mihir, Vedang and Dilton were also quite good. Vedang however, man he's like a young Ranveer Singh. I can totally see him becoming a big star in the future with his looks and charismatic.

Overall, this movie is something I was highly anticipating the release of since long and it did not disappoint. It gave me exactly what I signed up for and more. Good job Netflix and Zoya, no one could have done it better than you. What a launch you've given these new actors. Peace!
