Get some homemade popcorn and be ready for a fun ride

‘Archie's weird mysteries’ + Zoya Akhtar’s adaptation + hot cocoa! Netflix has answered our idea for a perfect date night with the long-awaited release of Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies film, featuring a stellar cast including Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor, Agastya Nanda, and others. The plot unfolds with Archie torn between chic Veronica and dreamy Betty, but a sinister plan to change Riverdale forces these teens to set aside their angst.
