It's not good like most teen movies but I'm disappointed by Zoya's script. Her scripts have gone downhill since MIH S2, so she should reflect on her writing team.


Vedang got a lot to do so watch for him, Mihir was great but he was mostly Archie's sidekick. Agastya did okay on paper but he has no charm so Khushi and Suhana despite being worse actors overshadowed him.

Khushi's character was so horribly underwritten I was shocked. It's not Zoya's style. She had no major acting scenes so she was mostly making the same emotions throughout the movie. Suhana's character had a lot of major moments but Suhana is a major overactor and her parts were super cringe. Suhana got 1-2 emotional major scenes but they were blah instead of show stealing.


Actually Suhana - Khushi had good chemistry, one is overactor and another is underactor. I would have liked Betty and Veronica to be the couple. Otherwise performances were blah, the girls were significantly worse, but the story was bad too. Not expecting that of Zoya.

Suhana's acting is supercringe. Not only her acting but also her dance moves were over the top. Her legs had too much distance between them n it looked weird when she was dancing. Her weird speaking style too is ear piercing. Didn't understand why people were liking her voice.

Khushi is like just speaking the dialogue in sleepy monotone.

Agastya too looks clueless just speaking the dialogue for the sake of it. Doesn't look so charming that why girls would be after him.

Vedang looked like stud but couldn't understand his jokes so had to repeat the scenes still couldn't find it funny.

Mihir's acting was fine overall n better than others in terms of expression.


Movie is a drag n damn slow. Now I'm watching it in fast forward mode smiley36

I agree, Agastya isn't charming. He was decent on paper but there's no audience connection.

There's a lot of SRK bias in Suhana's reviews. It's natural since it's her first movie and she got a showy part. She was super out of place instead of the standout.

Betty is a very boring character, The OG Archies made her interesting by being attracted to Veronica, but Zoya is too chicken to add that. There's not much for her to do.


Why was it SO slow though? Zoya generally is good at pacing.

They could have made it a fun teenage movie with jokes n romcom type. But its not at all engaging

She is unlikeable off-screen as well. The girl has nothing going for her. She makes me want to become an Alia fan.
