1. Dil Dhadakne Do
When parents seem to be highly conscious of the social image, so much so that they ignore the sentiments and wishes of their own child, it is the sibling who comes to the rescue. This is an idea that this movie by Zoya Akhtar reflects and shows through Priyanka Chopra & Ranvir Singh’s characters. The undying and unconditional support he gives to his sister (played by Priyanka Chopra), who is dealing with failed marriage with her husband, is remarkable. Being a product of the modern-day generation, they broke all the chains of the domination and pressure that a society lurks on the people. The fantastic bonding seen between them all throughout the movie is just incredible.
2. Sarabjit
This is a story of a sister’s fight for her brother, who is forcefully abducted in Pakistan. It depicts how a sister goes the extra mile to bring his brother back from there after fighting a rigorous battle against the system. The leading roles played by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Randeep Hooda, in this movie denote the true power of sibling love.
3. Iqbal
Iqbal is the story of a brother-sister duo who continued to fight for their dreams irrespective of all the odds. This movie revolves around a dumb and deaf brother (played by Shreyas Talpade) who dreams of being a part of the Indian Cricket Team, with her younger sister always motivating him. Though being a younger one, she maintained her presence beside her brother, being his ears and mouth. The sibling bond they share is commendable and an excellent source of inspiration for many of us.
4. Bumm Bumm Bole
Take a deep plunge into your childhood memories filled with innocent and fun-filled incidents with your siblings. Bumm Bumm Bole is the story of two siblings from a low-income family who share a great bond and understanding. At an early age, how they manage time and adjust to the conditions of their family is hard to find in us. The prop that connects them is a pair of shoes they share as they have only a single pair to wear. This movie captures childhood innocence, sacrifices, and emotions well and connects you more to your siblings.
5. Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
Apart from focusing on the professional life of the yesteryear athlete, Milkha Singh, this movie also captures the beautiful bond of a brother and sister, played by Farhan Akhtar and Divya Dutta. The role of a mother, which an elder sister has to play for her brother, is wonderfully depicted in this movie. She is a source of encouragement for her brother, who, despite all odds, never leaves her brother’s side. She motivates him to pursue his dreams and never let any unwanted or harmful circumstances befall him. The emotional exchange of words and gestures by this brother-sister duo is commendable and heart-touching for the audience.
