A unique example of a brother-sister relationship was seen in Onir’s My Brother…Nikhil, the same year.Shreyas Talpade and Shweta Basu Prasad made their stunning debuts as siblings in the quasi-masterpiece directed by Nagesh Kukunoor. His solid pillar of support remained his doughty sister. A classic, though a commercial failure, was Iqbal (2005), which showed how a deaf and mute young man went on to become a state Ranji Trophy cricket player.In Bumm Bumm Bole (2010), a film I missed because of its stilted theatrical run, a little boy (Darsheel Taare Zameen Par Safary) does everything to get his little sister (Ziyah Vastani) a pair of shoes-the film was an official remake of the Iranian movie Children of Heaven.As this was a real story, the relationship movingly stands out even though the film did not focus specially on the sibling bond. Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013) saw Divya Dutta play the sister who motivates Milkha Singh (played by Dil Dhadakne Do hero, writer and co-producer Farhan Akhtar) to be a world-class athlete after their terrible traumas during Partition.When Priyanka’s abusive husband (Rahul Bose) crosses limits, the brother does what is right and protects the traumatized sister. One of my personal favorites is the 2015 Dil Dhadakne Do, which highlighted the bro-sis bond of Ranveer Singh with Priyanka Chopra.They are then kicked out by their aunt and have a star-crossed life wherein they are separated for long before being reunited. But a bootlegger (David) teaches the two kids self-respect and how to work for a living. She forces them to beg on the streets and often beats them. Little Bhola (Ratan Kumar) and Belu (Baby Naaz) are left in the care of their aunt, a prostitute, after their mother dies. Among the old films, the shining example of brother-sister camaraderie and love remains Raj Kapoor’s Boot Polish (1954).Here are 10 such films that highlight what may well be called ‘Sibling Revelry’. However, it is the newer films-with one sterling exception mentioned below- that have shown sibling relationships on a better level, even if the movies were not named after either the special bond or the festival. The first four films, nevertheless, succeeded at the box-office. In the past too, films like Anpadh, Rakhi, Resham Ki Dori, Chhoti Bahen, Bahen, Raakhi Aur Hathkadi and Rakhi Ki Saugandh have revolved around the love between bhai-behen, but all of them been either melodramas or potboilers. More significantly, the makers have timed the release of the film on Raksha Bandhan Day itself-August 11. Raksha Bandhan, starring Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar, is also the first film directly titled after the festival representing the brother-sister bond, and has a superb thematic song that has caught on, Tere saath hoon main, written by Irshad Kamil and composed by Himesh Reshammiya.
Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra played brother and sister in Dil Dhadakne Do.
