Entering the world of Netflix’s The Archies makes us revisit our childhood and comic books and so much more

The Archies is set in a magical world inspired by the comic books we grew up with. It’s fresh and exciting and Netflix has only just scratched the surface with the first song, ‘Sunoh’ from the film. The movie is set in the 1960s in a picturesque hill station called Riverdale, tells the story of a group of Anglo-Indian teenagers and is directed by Zoya Akhtar.

The Archies is an adaptation of the globally famous Archie Comics IP. Through this film, the audience will get to enter the world of the comics.

The first song of The Archies called ‘Sunoh’ was launched at the Bollywood Hungama OTT Fest. Apart from filmmakers Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti, the event was also graced by the ensemble cast of the film including Agastya Nanda, Dot (Aditi Saigal), Khushi Kapoor, Mihir Ahuja, Suhana Khan, Yuvraj Menda and Vedang Raina.

Riverdale, which was seen in the song, is right out of a dream and an absolute pleasure to the eyes could well be like Shimla, Ooty, Mccluskieganj and Landour of the 1960s.

‘Sunoh’ sees Suhana Khan effortlessly display her skating skills. During the launch of the song, she spoke about the training she and others went through before the film went on floors. “We started training 5 or 6 months before we actually started filming. I know you said it (skating scenes) looks very breezy in the song, but I'm lucky you didn't see us fall and bump into each other, that was far from effortless. But yeah, it was a lot of fun. I loved every moment of it, even all the falling. I fell a lot, but I didn’t hurt myself luckily,” she said.

Agastya plays a music aficionado in the film. Sharing about his preparations, he added, “I had to learn how to play the guitar. I had to learn how to sing. Learning to sing and how to play the guitar was a great learning experience. It isn’t easy. Piano is a problem as I have thick fingers. So, I keep hitting two or three notes at the same time. But the guitar is fun and adds to the fun at the parties if you play it with your friends.”

The Archies is all set to stream on Netflix from December 7.
