I've been reading Archie's for almost 25 years now, and I can vote that Dilton Doiley is definitely not a Gay character. He's presented as an extra-studious, class-topper guy who spends most of his time inside his science lab instead of dating girls. But I've read in many comics that he went to dates and even asked for dating tips from Betty and Veronica when he liked any girl. The Cheryl Blossom series showed him attracted to Cheryl. I knew this movie would be sheer 'Gobar', but Zoya Akhtar should actually apologize to Archie's fans like us for ruining our teenage fantasies!! 😠

It's just a movie. Take it as an entertainment. Atleast it's not a toxic movie like animal which public seems to love these days.

Anyone with a working knowledge of post-independent India would know that in 1964 (which is the year the movie is set in), India was going through a tough phase. Political instability was rife after the passing of Jawaharlal Nehru, the morale of the nation was low after the defeat in the Sino-Indian War, and the threat of an armed conflict with Pakistan was looming large. To top it all, India was badly hit by inflation, and food shortage-insofar that we were heavily dependent on American food aid, and there was immense pressure from international agencies to devalue the rupee. Of course, none of this is reflected in the movie. How can Riverdale be immune to all this, especially when most of the characters were small business owners?

I think Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikander was a better indian adaptation of Archies :)

So this entire narrative that Anglo Indians speak good Hindi may be true for today… but early in the 60s, very few could speak proper Hindi

Again we are missing the important issue here. The issue isn't of rich vs Non- rich or elite vs Non- elites. If that would have been the case then the only difference would have been of luxury but the actual only issue is of cultural relativity.. Elites of all colonised societies aren't rooted in their own culture, for example while French, German elites would still be French, German, Indian elites are heavily westernised coconuts.. A poor German, middle class German and rich German can relate to each other. That's why Spanish people can relate with 'ELITE' because of cultural relativity not luxury lifestyle whereas in India the issue is not of luxury lifestyle but cultural relativity as we sae during films like 'CLASS' or 'ARCHIES'. All colonised societies, their elites are deracinated coconuts who aren't rooted in worldview of own civilization. Our elite speak in English, only worldview is of Anglosphere, hate their own culture because as Macaulay said 'Indian in blood only'

They should not call this an adaption, better call this a remake. Almost everything is as Americanized as the original comic itself, just the retro aesthetic has been changed to more cottagecore. They've mixed the OG American names and "Archies" iconic stuff like Pop's diner so they're true to the comics, so why bring in the "Anglo-Indian" angle?? Just make a remake. Either that or a completely Indianized version. That way you won't trigger the comic's fandom nor the Anglo Indian depiction nor the actor's privileged backgrounds or anything that should be a problem.

congrats shantanu sir for your newborn daughter god bless her

Someone had said that its a Nepotism ka Buffet xD

yo.. everything said... i have to disagree with you on one key aspect - archies was never about solving mysteries - they might have spin offs where they did solve mysteries. but the comics are just good old fashioned American teenager wholesomeness... so its ok for the movie not have a core story. so i think thats a bit harsh

Log bollywood ko itna seriously kyu le rhe h sabko pata h bollywood is just mediocre industry 😒 mujhe gussa tab ata h jab cheesy industry ko seriously liya jata h bollywood is just time pass industry

Thanks Shan..as always bang on point. Its stunning that they are living in a "creative" universe..as in the makers Zoya ..who btw is always copying the west...because as we all know the KJos and Zoyas of the world live in a fantasy western world as if their audience is all NRIs that left India 40 years ago. Adaptation is not an issue and or the complete random fantasy..but they seem to be suspended in any reality ....just like how Karan Johar showed Raichand House (in Scotland) as a palace 4 mins away from Chandni Chowk... or SOTU where this university existed nowhere on the planet. Its so crazy that they could have made this more "homely" ..instead they keep copying American attributes as if all kids in India are just like that...instead of showing authentic India where sure it could be similar but lets make it more in tuned with the country vs copying another country.. etc etc which is so random.... like what school is this? where is this school even exist... there is NOT even a school like this in United States ...nobody acts like this or talks like this. Its funny they want to show "modern" kids in India..but even modern kids dont act like this ...its a whole parallel universe they are showing that exists nowhere and im sure some ppl are like this ..I know South Bombay, South Delhi, South Calcutta ...they all the same but kids are not like this ...some are but MOST are NOT. I have many friends from India who are Anglo Saxan and or Anglo Indian like you mentioned...and we all talk in Hindi fluently and so do they... having accent is not a problem ...but creating something this crap is just so weird... like they want to be white ... you can be "modern" and speak english and have accent and still speak hindi and you could still show a normal school and what not .. its like they (Zoya, KJO) live vicariously in UK and or US and are so influenced by it that they dont know how to make something at home ..unless they make again a random out of the world fantasy of raichand house and or SOTU...these "creators" life in a complete parallel universe. I havent seen a worse set of young actors as this bunch..sure they are young and maybe some of them will get better with time..but omg what a random casting and what complete nonsense of an adaptation which is not Indian at all with any of its arc. But this is what OTT has become..before there was hope for new things..now these big media houses have infiltrated OTT platforms basically to show the same crap we see in bollywood with the same nepo kids and its not going to end. Netflix, Amz prime etc etc sold their soul to these big media houses and so called directors and now we are back to square one with the same bad content we see in bollywood movies and Indian cinema overall. Sad.

@Subtr0nic I agree with your entire comment but I don't agree with that thing which you said that entire Indian cinema I don't think so that overall Indian cinema comes into the Bollywood category because if Bollywood produce shitt content it doesn't include the entire Indian cinema because there are also lot of other regional industries in India which has the potential and are producing good content and they are not Bollywood because Bollywood is just the mainstream industry of India but not the entire Indian cinema and also I feel like other Indian industries don't have identity crisis like Bollywood have that they again and again forget that where they belong to and always fantasize something else only ...

Wow!!This is absolutely fantastic to watch irrespective of this review, people are appreciating this.

To be very honest, people should not totally hate them because they are from film families, who wouldn't want to utilise if they get such a huge platform deserving or not... I saw Archies and everyone for their first film did a decent job I liked everyone the lead Agastya and Khushi also did a good job, the only cringe for me throughout the film was Suhana, I mean her expressions, her voice the way she delivered, everything was for some reason cringey... Only for her, I wanna say, if she isn't SRKs daughter, no one could have offered anything with that acting she did.

Don't worry they can only get away with few of this shit shows and their careers won't take off after that... The only sad thing will be this few shit shows could be seen as opportunity for a few lucky talented ones where this was just handed to this people

Ruskin Bond is an Anglo Indian and his memoirs would give a good context about life as one. Watch Ek tha Rusty.

Adaption is totally fine but at least they should have adopt in an Indian culture without changing the source material and plot , for example Agastya Nanda's character is Adarsh which is based on Archies character just like Pavitr Prahabakar is based on Peter Parker and other actors as Indian characters based on the og characters in a totally Indian environment. Also the actors have tried very hard to look white and westerner to appease them and that's the main reason many people didn't liked or are not interested in the movie.

Archies Zoya ❌ Animal Zoya ✅❤️ !!!

Truely agree with elitism element always existing in most Zoya Akhtar movies whether it was Zindagi Na milegi dobara or dil dhadakne do. They were always cruising Europe or in yachts and even they had a personal plane! Maybe the exception was Gully Boy.

I witnessed Incredible attention to detail in every scene being given

I grew up reading archies. All the kids in there except veronica and reggie were from middle class families. The eating joint was a small place near their school and homes. Could have been very easy to make this adaptation and keep it indian. However, I don't think that was the objective :D

Such well written honest review Shan 👏🏻✨

Fun fact noone needed: "Orry" is a word used for mom by their children in rural aresa for rajasthan

1:08 when he said Orry ko entertain karne ke liye koi picture banayi jayegi. I choked on my lunch.

My respect for Riverdale grows more and more.

When Raj kapoor saab became an actor no one said nepotisim because he is an amazing actor like hi father Pritviraj saab ..we say nepotisim when the spoil people become stars by their parent with out any talent skills or even screen presents .by the way nepotisim starts in bollywood in 1960 till now.all the love from Iraq

Congratulations Shan and Renuka! 💜

Shan bhai, i think 'Animal' deserves one more video, as on second viewing I see so many layers that have still not been discussed anywhere

Hahahhahahhahahahha I was waiting for this and it came out even before I had expected. Ab toh movie dekhna hi padega just to celebrate apna Shantanu 😂😂😂😂😂😂.

Hamme sirf Raj aur Diamond comics padhi hai. Agar ye Pinky ya Billu par bhi bana dete to kuchh relate kar paate. Archies ko maine sirf newspaper ke corner me dekha hai.

I switched off the movie after 10 minutes and came here to watch your review. I’d very much rather watch ZNMD instead

To play the devil's advocate, I think this movie will appeal a lot more to Western audiences. International Netflix accounts are promoting it as well and the response has been mostly positive there.

Because it's a generic Netflix movie based on no specific culture and located in nowhereland. It's a throwaway film.

The newcomers collectively elevate the film with their dedication and passion.

I was eagerly awaiting this

Don't worry... After 10 years they will learn how to act and critics will be gushing over them😂😂...

If there is no need to touch and adapt , Bollywood starts from that point I would have preferred a straight teen high school rom com thriller

Bhai all good but Vo “mushkil say mushkil” wala bit aad kardo….always gets me 😂

If u wanna watch what pure cinema is,watch HANNIBAL LECTER,its pure art to me,so will it be for you
