National Brother’s Day: From Karan Arjun to Raksha Bandhan, 5 Films That Celebrate the Sibling Bond

National Brother’s Day is the perfect time to celebrate the unbreakable bonds between siblings. No matter the fights over remotes, or who got the bigger piece of the pie, the sibling bond is such that it stands the biggest tests of time. Bollywood has always crafted stories that have made us laugh, cry, and believe in the power of having a brother who’ll watch our backs, no matter what! Indian cinema has given us some truly memorable films and on the occasion of National Brothers Day, here are 5 on-screen brothers that we wish we had in real lives!

Karan Arjun

The ultimate tale of brotherly love that surpassed something as morbid as death itself, Karan Arjun was ICONIC! Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan’s iconic pairing as brothers who are reborn to avenge their family’s honor, became an instant classic. With Rakhi Gulzar convincingly portraying the belief of a mother and saying “Mere Karan Arjun Aayenge”, this film proved that the bond between the two siblings was so strong that even death could not break it.

Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham

This epic Karan Johar family drama showcased the relationship between Hrithik Roshan and Shah Rukh Khan as brothers, who are separated and stay apart for decades, but their bond never truly breaks. K3G was heavy on respect, family values, and in Hrithik Roshan’s case, the lengths that he travelled to reunite with his brother and then reunite his entire family. The film was a massive success and has attained ‘timeless classic’ status, as it continues to resonate with audiences across generations even today.

Raksha Bandhan

Akshay Kumar plays the ultimate big brother who prioritizes his sisters’ happiness above everything else. Directed by Aanand L Rai, known for bringing small-town emotions to the big screen, the film captures the beautiful essence of the relationship between a doting brother and his sisters. It focuses on the quiet, often unseen sacrifices that define sibling bonds and also embodies the very meaning of ‘Raksha Bandhan’ – protection, sacrifice, and unconditional love!

Agneepath

Hrithik Roshan’s powerful performance as Vijay Deenanath Chauhan, highlighted the protective instinct of an elder brother towards his younger sibling, who gets caught in the crossfire. The film’s emotional core revolves around how far one brother will go to protect his family’s honor and ensure his sister’s safety, making it a gripping tale of sacrifice and honour.

Brothers

Brothers was a raw and intense drama, just like the movie’s posters, that explored the complicated relationship between two estranged brothers, played by Akshay Kumar and Sidharth Malhotra. Set against the backdrop of MMA, the film delved into how unresolved family trauma that drove both the brothers apart, was also what brought them back together, in a moving moment of forgiveness and understanding.

Bollywood has consistently shown us that sibling relationships are among the most powerful and enduring connections we can have. This National Brother’s Day, these cinematic gems serve as beautiful reminders of why brothers truly are among life’s greatest blessings.
