Nepo connectivity issues

It's inescapable. Promos, reviews and chatter about The Archies movie (streaming on Netflix) are everywhere. Suhana Khan looks like her dad, but is she a convincing Veronica? Doesn't Agastya Nanda, aka Archie, smile just like his uncle, Abhishek Bachchan? Can Khushi Kapoor, a perfect Betty, light up the screen the way her mum, Sridevi, once did? And who's Dot? Do we know her mummy-papa?

Zoya Akhtar, daughter of famous parents, directs children of famous parents in the film. Regardless of the mixed reviews, it's got India talking, again, about nepo babies and their supposedly smooth ride to the top.
