Nice to read about three things got liked, I liked, too (and wrote about):

the music, the subjects treated and the character of a movie for youngsters (and for some not so young - by age - anymore)

I think the random praise doesn't minimize the disappointment this movie generates... I really hope that the 7 members of the main cast soon get the opportunity (I know Vedang was announced in Jigra) to shine in a way that gets more appreciation.

This is one thing I actually liked in the movie. Its like every kid had their own individual issues to battle - and then had one overall goal of saving green park for which they came together. Its just that those individual issues were very poorly developed and just touched upon

But again, if the target audience is kids, teens and tweens, then it probably makes some sense for a kids movie.

It looks great on paper but execution wise it was tedious. Each individual kid having individual issues works for tv series maybe, but not a movie. This was already way too long for a children's movie. All coming-of-age movies gotta have a central theme so the characters can weave themselves around it, be it perks of being a wallflower, juno, the spectacular now, superbad, edge of 17, ferries bueller, yada yada. But BW unfortunately is reeling under forcing social commentary in every scene rather than writing. Zoya crapped out.

This movie is a visualized representation of the fall of Bollywood. Now people are apologizing to Ananya Pandey. Kitne bure din a gaye

I was surprised to see Jamie Alter in the movie. When I was watching the movie I thought, "Is that Jamie Alter?" I didn't know about his role before watching the movie.

Ma’am Zoya Akhtar. You have just ruthlessly destroyed my precious memories of Archie and gang. Why? The theme of land grab(a hara bhara park in your case) is sought to be saved by Riverdale kids (in school or KG i know not). For this they keep breaking into Grease type songs n prances even in the middle of dinners. Indigestion guaranteed. Aur land ‘development’ ka topic chhedna tha to ab yahan deshbhar mein ho raha hai. (If you had to talk about the land development topic, it's happening in the entire country). But big business people names can’t be annoyed na?", Khalid wrote.

He further added, " Indigestible too are your newcomer actors. Intense workshops weren’t enough or what? Suhana as hamari Veronica..give me Pooh any day…n Agastya need to learn the ABZ of acting. Khushi Kapoor was theekh theekh… never thought I’d ever say this but her sister Jhanavi has more hosh n josh … the Reggie boy was way superior.Next time ma’am please don’t touch Lil Lulu n Tubby, Dennis the Menace, Tweety etc PLEASE!".
