Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na: While this movie is about love and friendship at large, the scenes between Genelia D’Souza and Prateik Babbar have shown a beautiful bond between a brother and sister. At first, they are both shown fighting like cats and dogs in the movie, but in this particular scene where Prateik tells Genelia about how she was his only friend in life and she grew up to have more friends which made her forget him. The scene is probably one of the best scenes from the film which sums up the bond that brothers and sisters share.

Dil Dhadakne Do: Ayesha and Kabir Mehra are truly the modern-day brother-sister due ever! They are chill, best of friends, fun to be around, love each other immensely and stand up for each other when needed. Priyanka Chopra and Ranbir Singh’s ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ also make for an amazing watch on Raksha Bandhan.

Dear Zindagi: While this movie is largely based on mental health, it also shows the beautiful bond of a brother and sister. Rohit Saraf played Alia Bhatt’s baby brother’s character, whom she lovingly calls ‘Kiddo’ in the movie.
