Storyline
The Archies is a coming-of-age film that follows the lives of Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, Reggie, Ethel, and Dilton as they navigate a fictitious town named Riverdale in 1960s India. The Archies examines themes of love, sorrow, rebellion, and friendship from the perspective of the distinct Anglo-Indian community.
Starring as the titular character Archie, Agastya aspires to achieve stardom in the music business and is very enthusiastic about music. The character Suhana plays, Veronica, the richest girl in the group.
Betty is self-reliant, generous, and unyielding. Among the group, Reggie is known for his wisecracking jokes. He is egotistical, perceptive, and emotionally reserved; nonetheless, he does not always show his emotions in public. As a foodie with an eclectic taste in hats, Jughead is quite the character. With boundless ambition, Ethel has emerged as Riverdale’s most promising young hairdresser. Dilton is the most well-read and fashionable teen in Riverdale, and he never stops learning.
