Mumbai: The Archies, marking the acting debut of Agastya Nanda, Suhana Khan and Khushi Kapoor premiered on Netflix on December 7. A special screening of Zoya Akhtar’s Netflix film was held recently in Mumbai and had several celebs in attendance, including the entire Bachchan family, who came to support Agastya. Now, Netflix India has shared a video with the reactions of the celebs from The Archies’ special screening. Among them was actor Aishwarya Rai.
In the clip, Aishwarya Rai gave her opinion of The Archies, and said, “Wonderful and huge congratulations to the entire team.” The caption on the video read, “Sunoh, first reactions are in. Our favorite stars being starry-eyed after the The Archies premiere…”
Actor-husband Abhishek Bachchan also spoke about nephew Agastya’s debut film, and said in the video, “It took us back in time. You know we all grew up reading Archies. We were transported back to our youth.” Aishwarya and Abhishek were joined by daughter Aaradhya as well as Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Navya Naveli Nanda and Shweta Bachchan at the screening.
Set in the fictional town of Green Park, the film follows the lives of these teenagers as they navigate the challenges of friendship, love, and societal expectations. The narrative unfolds through a captivating blend of music, dance, and humor, capturing the carefree spirit and idealism of youth.
The highlight of the film is undoubtedly its soundtrack, which features a mix of original Bollywood-style compositions and classic Archie Comics songs reinterpreted in Hindi. The catchy tunes and energetic dance sequences perfectly complement the film’s overall feel-good vibe.
While the film primarily targets a young audience, it also offers a nostalgic trip for adults who grew up reading the Archie comics. Seeing the beloved characters come to life on screen with a distinctly Indian twist adds a layer of charm and cultural relevance to the story.
