The conflict in the film arises when ‘Green Park’, which is so dear to the teenagers, gets sold for building a swanky hotel by Veronica’ dad, who also buys all the shops at Town Square to rebuild them into a plaza. This leads to friction between the friends and sets the ground for the narrative.

The Archies also stars Mihir Ahuja, Dot., Vedang Raina and Yuvraj Menda.

The film is directed by Zoya Akhtar, who has co-written it with Reema and Ayesha Devitre. It will stream on Netflix from December 7.
