Archies: The Review you’ve been waiting for!

The wait for the Archies film directed by Zoya Akhtar has been a long one and it finally ends today! The film has hit Netflix and people have dropped all that they have to sit down with their favourite snack and dive into this specially curated nostalgic world. Read ahead to know what the critics thought of this highly anticipated film and what they have to say about Akhtar’s work.


India Today
Zoya and Reema have done an exceptional job in preserving the familiar look and essence of the characters we fondly remember. The chemistry between the actors is seamless and loveable.

Film Companion
If you look past the gaudy exterior, The Archies is a self-reflexive critique of its own legacy. It's shaped by an awareness of its own image.

Hindustan Times
Nikos Andritsakis’ (Ugly, 2013; Detective Byomkesh Bakshy, 2015) cinematography and pretty frames are in sync with Akhtar’s whimsical vision for this film. Akhtar deserves credit for marrying worlds that might at the outset seem entirely divergent, for which both the film’s screenplay and dialogue reserve credit.

Indian Express
Filmmaker Subhash Ghai took to X (formerly Twitter) and praised Zoya for ‘surprising’ him with her ‘amazing’ film. Ghai posted on X, “I love d director #ZOYA AKHTAR who loves to give surprises by her every new amazing film . I attended premier of #ARCHIE N She displays her musical dynamics wonderfully-A broadway style with real-life performances from stars kids n new talent so beautifully. blessings❤️.”
