I can watch bad films. I can watch cringe also. But boring is truly a crime.

It's none of this..Cringe maybe. Few scenes that we already saw in this thread..skip them and it won't make a difference.

I skipped Archiekins.

But quite a lot of people found it boring. I guess watching it with a fresh mind in the morning with nothing else to do and keeping low expectations helps

Take these kids and make Student of the year 3. A give them character names like Rohan or Preeti. Don’t set it in the 60s. Don’t base it off a comic that’s not even that popular in India. An I’m sure people would like that film more. Even KKHH was Karan’s version of Archie’s and he wasn’t dumb enough to make it an actual Archie’s Zoya is just a legend of her own mind at this point. It was a bland film. All these kids would have done better in a different film with a different director. In this film it’s just meh 🫤

Good point here because as you said, Karan said KKHH was his version of the Archie comics. Rahul, Anjali, and Tina were Archie, Betty, and Veronica.

If anyone hating on Archies needs one reason to be thankful for its existence, its that Archies makes it even more likely we won't see Karan's much-touted KKHH remake with Ranveer, Alia, and Janhvi.

... If I had to choose that Jughead character stood out. That scene at the school gym where he is talking w Archie about the girls and then Archie compliments the other random girl was one highlight. Another one was when Veronica said “my friends hate me” and the dad casually said “find new friends” That was cute.

I agree...

I finally watched the movie. It was a good one time watch. The three of them need more training but I didn't find them as bad as reviews are saying. Considering it's their first movie I'd rather give them a pass. Pass cause they are passable. And true other three guys are excellent. I like jughead more. Ethel was good too.

I'm sure the three starkids will get more opportunities but I truly hope the other gets more opportunities and better options to show their skills too.

The movie had lots of quotes that we read here and there. The character development of other characters were rushed.

As some has mentioned here already, webseries would have done better for all of them.

Thanx, Dear

I prefer the first one...how good they had been brought to life

How interesting it would be to have a talk with Zoya about her working on this movie... in private

Thats all I’ll say but my mother and my wife were more savage about it
