The highly anticipated live-action musical ‘The Archies’, helmed by filmmaker Zoya Akhtar set for a Netflix release next month, has made quite an impression with its first song Sunoh securing the top spot in the hearts of the fans.
The creators of the film recently unveiled its second song titled Va Va Voom, another groovy time machine to the 1960s rock and roll era. The latest track is composed by the dynamic trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and penned by renowned lyricist and Zoya’s father Javed Akhtar, and sung by Tejas Menon.
The music composers said: “The creative process behind this song was truly exciting. We wanted to create a dance number that would immediately compel one to hit the dance floor.
“Our composition, Tejas Menon’s vocals and Javed Akhtar’s lyrics all came together as a collaborative effort. Va Va Voom transports you back to the moody rock and roll era of the 1960s. We have effectively tried to capture the essence of that era and look forward to seeing the audience's response to the song.”

An electrifying dance spectacle, Va Va Voom celebrates the timeless rock and roll tunes with Dot (Aditi), Agastya Nanda, Khushi Kapoor, Mihir Ahuja, Suhana Khan, Vedang Raina, and Yuvraj Menda in the spotlight. Set at a soirée, the song features relatable and romantic lyrics. Agastya Nanda’s guitar strumming adds to the romance with Suhana Khan and Khushi Kapoor, while other co-stars join the dance.
Zoya Akhtar said: “Va Va Voom is a classic Archie comic term. It’s a compliment to describe a girl he likes. A way of saying she is cool.
“This song encapsulates the energy of the 60s rock ‘n’ roll era and romanticizes teenage love. Archie wears his heart on his sleeve as they dance to a super fun Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy composed tune. My dad Va va voomed it and Ganesh has nailed the choreography. The actors just followed his lead and as gruelling as it was, we had a blast shooting it.”
