Rakhi Special: 5 Bollywood Films That Celebrate The Beautiful Bond Of Siblings.

Back in the time when soppy was trendy, Raksha Bandhan scenes made for the most melodramatic brand of entertainment.With the popular Indian festival just around the corner, we look at the 5 of Bollywood’s SUPER FILMI Rakhi moments.

#Pyar Kiya Toh Darna Kya: Call it an on-screen festival perk but wishes unfailingly come true on Raksha Bandhan day.Kajol quickly makes avail of the offer by tying a thread around overprotective bade bhaiya, Arbaaz Khan’s wrist and expressing her desire to join a Mumbai college. Mushy music in the background, sighing faces to the fore, mission accomplished.

#Hare Rama Hare Krishna: This classic film follows a brother’s journey of finding his sister, who has joined a group of hippies, and also boasts of the hit classic number ‘Phoolon Ka Taaron Ka’, a staple Raksha Bhandhan song. The charming Dev Anand and the beautiful Zeenat Aman not only managed to deliver a hit, but the unique storyline of the film was also widely appreciated.

#Hum Saath Saath Hain: Salman Khan hoodwinked Neelam's character into believing she’s his wife and mom of three in rom-com, Ek Ladka Ek Ladki. Saif Ali Khan pranced around her in flower fields and college campus in Parampara.Cut to Hum Saath Saath Hain where Neelam turns "Jeeji" of these two Khans and Mohinish Bahl tying rakhis on their wrists unwittingly explaining why many eligible bachelors dread this day.

#Andha Kanoon: Mixing business with pleasure to her advantage, Hema Malini's super severe cop uses Raksha Bandhan as a perfect occasion to nab her roguish brother Rajnikant in the 1983 drama, Andha Kanoon. Initially, the cat-and-mouse duo banters but makes up over a mandatory sibling love tune -- the 'Meri Behna' song.Except Rajni, it would seem oblivious to his sister’s schemes and secret microphones, blissfully celebrate the festival. He knows her better than the audience.

#Resham Ki Dori: Brothers and sisters normally meet at each other’s house or even a restaurant to tie a rakhi. But in movies, even the venue is almost always dramatic. Dharmendra is arrested by the cops and held on trial for killing a man who tried to molest his sister. Found guilty, he’s taken away to be put behind bars when his sister rushes and ties the revered rakhi on his handcuffed wrist. Cue for its famous Rakhi number, Behna Ne Bhai Ki Kalai Se Pyar Bandha Hai.
