I told you.....that anyone who grew up on Archies.....will know that Agastya got Archie right.....read Raja Sen's review.....
He is one critic who knows what he is talking about..
Nanda is genuinely good as Archie. True to the character, he looks mildly concussed and easily amused, and has a likeable nonchalance—be it while singing or sloganeering or lying to girls. He wears the leading man role lightly, as if confused by it. There’s a lovely moment where his father (Suhaas Ahuja, in the film’s most tender performance) tells Archie that artists need to look inward, not outward, and we see him slowly take this in. We see his worldview shift. There’s something to this actor, a boy who doesn’t know his own charm.
It is frankly impossible to correctly grade the others —to see whether they have any talent or simply well-known genes— because the film doesn’t give them enough to do. Vedang Raina captures the Reggie vibe, and Menda’s Dilton has a genuinely adorable shorthand with the gang, but all we can say of, say, Khan’s Veronica is that she says “Archie-kins” with the right bratty lilt. Perhaps most criminally, Jughead, the lazy and sarcastic non-conformist, hardly gets to be in on the fun. Where are those deadpan lines, that enviable metabolism?
