•In his Instagram post-Shah Rukh Khan writes and exclaims to her daughter that she could never be perfect she just needs to be herself on this journey, he also appreciated the fact that she has come a long way but the roads to people’s hearts are unending, which is a very wholesome and well-penned post by the king of Bollywood.

•The announcement also got other brutal responses from the netizens one of them obviously being “the nepotism criticism” where one user gives an alternate title for the movie as Star kids assemble, while another user commented “excited to watch Sridevi’s daughter Khushi Kapoor’s acting skills”.

•But the criticism did not stop just on the caste it continued also on the theme of The Archies. From the poster, teaser and the look the caste has been given the film is not appearing like an Indian Adaptation and netizens feel that it highlights the American culture more.

•The Archies teaser is also getting compared to the Netflix show Riverdale which is a dark adaptation of ‘The Archies Comics’ and was not much appreciated by the fans because of which one of the users captioned the Archies teaser as “Desi Riverdale” while other commented”Riverdale Nagar me aapka swagat hai bachoo” while some hope that this version of Archie is better than Riverdale.
