For those who grew up in the 90s, watching 'The Archies' cartoons on TV and flipping through the comics was a nostalgic experience. The anticipation heightened when news broke that Zoya Akhtar was creating an Indian adaptation titled 'The Archies.' The excitement was tangible, especially with the revelation that children of prominent stars would be making their debut in this film.

The trailer of 'The Archies' swiftly transports viewers to Riverdale, a hill station set in the early 1960s. In this tranquil place with its unhurried pace, dynamics shift, whether for the better or worse is open to interpretation. Veronica (Suhana Khan) makes a return from London, and just like the original comic storyline, Archie (Agastya Nanda) becomes the centre of attention, capturing the affections of both Veronica and Betty (Khushi Kapoor). Archie, true to his character, strives to chart a path out of the town to pursue a career in the realm of music.
Their lives take a dramatic turn as the group unites to rescue Green Park, a town landmark threatened with demolition by Mr. Lodge, Veronica's father. In this crucial moment, Dilton (Yuvraj Menda) and Reggie (Vedang Raina) take the lead, instigating a transformation that propels the film's narrative forward. Judging by the trailer, it's evident that the movie promises an exciting and engaging experience.
