November 25, 2023, Mumbai Netflix’s The Archies added another feather to its crown by holding a star-studded music album launch event, following an incredible reception for Sunoh, Va Va Voom, In Raahon Mein, and the trailer.
The ensemble cast of the movie, which includes Vedang, Khushi Kapoor, Mihir Ahuja, Suhana Khan, Agastya Nanda, and Dot (Aditi)
In front of an enormous audience made up of journalists, influencers, and members of the industry, Raina and Yuvraj Menda, Zoya Akhtar, Reema Kagti, and the music team Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Ankur Tewari, Tejas, and Shivam Mahadevan, launched the 16-song album.
Zoya Akhtar, Reema Kagti, and the musical duo Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Ankur Tewari had a tête-à-tete to start off the gala event. The group danced to the thrilling sounds of “Va Va Voom” throughout the evening. To the sounds of DOT’s song “Asymmetrical,” Suhana Khan, Agostya Nanda, and Khushi Kapoor performed a dance. Furthermore, Ankur Tewari and Tejas delivered an incredible performance that had the crowd singing and cheering along to songs like “Choona Aasman” and “Sunoh,” making the evening an unforgettable musical experience for everyone in attendance. At the end of the show, the whole cast sang Plum Pudding.
The crowd was captivated by their contagious enthusiasm and captivating stage presence, which heightened their anticipation for the movie. Soon after, videos of these performances appeared online, giving fans a sneak peek at the musical spectacular. The song Dhishoom Dhishoom, which features Dot, Suhana Khan, and Khushi Kapoor dancing on roller skates, was unveiled to rapturous applause from everybody in attendance. It was the highlight of the event.
“Sunoh,” “Va Va Voom,” and “In Raahon Mein” are among the 16 excellent tracks on the album, which also features recently released songs like “Dear Diary,” “Jab Tum Na Theen,” “Dhishoom Dhishoom,” “Lonely July,” “Everything is Politics,” “Plum Pudding,” “Yeh Saari Aawazein,” “Choona Aasmaan,” and “Asymmetrical.”
The film’s director, Zoya Akhtar, took an opportunity to provide some details about the musical journey. “We are really excited to finally release the entire album for our audiences,” the speaker stated. The record is distinct from the film because of its comic book storyline, 1960s setting, and young adult vibe. The film is a musical. More than I could have ever imagined—Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Ankur Tewari, Dot, my father, Arijit Singh, and Tejas on one CD. I wanted a smile-inducing record. I hope the listeners feel the same way about this one.
“With ‘The Archies’ music, we’ve aimed to create something refreshing for the audiences,” the brilliant duo Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy said in reference to their experience writing the soundtrack for the movie. Together with a gifted group of musicians and lyricists, the music from the 1960s offers a distinct mood. “Plum Pudding” is our particular fave, and we’re eager to see how others react to it and the rest of our music.”
“Working on this album has been an incredibly exciting and collaborative process,” said composer, singer, and songwriter Ankur Tewar, expressing his delight over the entire album release. I had a great time working with amazing musicians from different eras, such as Dot, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, and Javed Akhtar Sir, to create music with a ’60s feel. Working with Zoya Akhtar as musicians was a rewarding experience because of her clear vision, which helped everything go very well.
The album “The Archies” showcases partnerships with renowned musicians such as Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, vocalists including Arijit Singh, Ankur Tewari, and The Islanders, and lyricists Javed Akhtar and Dot. The soundtrack of the movie can now be found on Sony Music’s YouTube account and all streaming services.
“The Archies” is a collaboration effort between Netflix India, Tiger Baby, Archie Comics, Graphic India, and a heartwarming coming-of-age story set against the picturesque background of the 1960s. Under Zoya Akhtar’s direction, the movie will be available globally on Netflix on December 7, 2023.
