From ‘Kapoor & Sons’ To ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’: Bollywood Films On Sibling Relationship

Like every other relationship in the world, the bond between siblings is one of a kind. A relationship that has some cute, as well as serious, banters, yet full of warmth. A relationship you can rely upon after your parents. A relationship that you can turn to when you are unable to reach out to your parents.

Over the years, Bollywood has made several films that either revolve around this relationship or depict a beautiful bond between siblings in the background.

On the upcoming occasion of Raksha Bandhan, here is a list of films from the past decade curated that you can binge-watch with your siblings and celebrate the occasion together.

Kapoor & Sons

In this 2016 family drama film, Fawad Khan and Siddharth Malhotra starred as brothers along with Alia Bhatt as the latter’s love interest. The brothers had tiff since their childhood caused by their mother (played by Ratna Pathak Shah) which led to the brothers not being on talking terms. Yet the first time Fawad opened up about being gay was to his brother.

Dear Zindagi

In this 2016 Hindi film starring Shah Rukh Khan and Alia Bhatt, Rohit Saraf starred as Alia's brother. The film talks about mental health where Alia Bhatt takes therapy and counseling from Shah Rukh.

In the 2015 Hindi film starring Priyanka Chopra, Ranveer Singh, Rahul Bose, Anil Kapoor, Farhan Akhtar, and Shefali Shah, Ranveer played the role of Priyanka’s brother.

The siblings' bond in this 2013 Hindi film starring Sushant Singh Rajput and Amrita Puri has been depicted in a very realistic manner.
