Suhana Khan And “The Gang” Welcome You To The World Of Rock ‘N’ Roll
Burgers, shakes and a whole lot of rock n roll, the 60s have never looked this good and we have only director Zoya Akhtar to be thankful for this. The teaser of the much-awaited musical drama film The Archies was unveiled on Sunday night during Netflix’s Tudum event in Brazil and to be absolutely honest, it was nothing short of a visual spectacle. The teaser, spanning over a few minutes, takes us to the world of Riverdale through the eyes of its stellar cast Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor and Agastya Nanda. Mihir Ahuja, Dot, Yuvraj Menda and Vedang Raina also feature in the short clip and add a dash of spunk to the already larger-than-life teaser.
The teaser takes us to Riverdale Hill station in the year 1964. We are given glimpses of The Archies gang, dancing, performing, cycling and even eating in style. What follows thereafter is a tale of friendship wrought with heartbreaks, protests and parties and many things more.
The teaser was shared by Suhana Khan with a caption that read, “Are you ready to go back in time? Welcome to The Archies.” Within minutes, the Bollywood fraternity flocked to her comment section to heap praises. Navya Nanda simply wrote, “Woohooo,” while Karan Johar and Bhavan Pandey gushed, “Love.” Koel Purie wrote, “What’s not to LOVE about this,” and yes we totally agree with it.
Time to take a peek at the trailer:
While social media is going gaga over the teaser, proud sister Janhvi Kapoor gave the sweetest shout out to her sister Khushi Kapoor and the entire team. Sharing the teaser on her Instagram, she wrote, “This looks so exciting. I can’t wait. What a fun world you guys have created. It’s going to be magic. And my baby Khushi Kapoor, I love you. Can I bite your cheeks, I miss you.”
