Writers Kagti, Akhtar and Ayesha Devitre build specificities of the Anglo-Indian community into the narrative.

The movie looks great, it's conceptually interesting, and it has several memorable moments. But it's also interminable.

The Archies lacks a distinct directorial flair, which is surprising, especially with Zoya Akhtar being at the helm.

Without her more serious touch, the incessant glee of Riverdale rubs irritatingly, as does the obvious emotional pandering of the screenplay.

The problem plaguing the film is similar to what affected Akhtar’s previous work, the expansive new season of Made in Heaven. The politics, albeit correct, constantly hangs on the narrative.

Not sure why the movie was made. It seems like it smelled of nepotism in Bollywood. Just 15-20 minutes into the movie and I was like Yuck!!, I don't want to watch this.
