As soon as Netflix shared the teaser, many netizens commented that they are finding it difficult to connect with the film. A few netizens even mocked the makers for the upcoming movie. A netizen wrote, "Showing past Era of India or Europe? Trying to show 80s of India as European clothing.. is it another Bollywood movie with good looks n songs but horrible story." Another netizen wrote, "So you are saying India was more developed n looked like Europe in 60s, what a joke." An internet user wrote, "The 99% of population of india won’t relate to this." Another internet user mocked the acting chops of the lead cast, and wrote, "None of them look like they can act or dance. That heartbreak scene showed 0 emotion." One of the internet users wrote, "Overdose of nepotism." One of the internet users wrote, "It hardly looks Indian! Seeing no point in this creation."

Directed by Zoya Akhtar, The Archies brings the popular characters from Archie’s Comics to India in the 1960s. A release date for the film has not been revealed yet.
