Because #RakshaBandhan is coming only on #ZEE5). — ZEE5 (@ZEE5India) Even though the film might have failed to impress the moviegoers, Akshay Kumar's performance was lauded. The DNA review of Raksha Bandhan stated, "Akshay's heartfelt and earnest performance is the film's biggest strength which tackles the issue of dowry in Indian society.

Let us get this out of the way without mincing words: Aanand L. Rai's Raksha Bandhan has no business to exist in this day and age. It is a shockingly regressive family drama that would have us believe that girls are worth nothing if they are not married and domesticated. Headlined by Akshay Kumar (Bollywood's poster boy of all things sanskari) in the guise of an Old Delhi chaat vendor who peddles golgappas to expectant women who desire a male child, Raksha Bandhan is aimed at warming the cockles of our hearts. It is, after all, the story of a 'heroic' man committed heart, soul and kidney to the well-being of a quartet of sisters, poor little clueless kids who cannot do without big bro's protective hand. Happiness in this hero's Chandni Chowk household rides on the institution of marriage. Kedar Nath (Akshay Kumar) is forsworn to finding suitable boys for his sisters and doing whatever it takes to pool together the money needed for the weddings. The poor man's plight is meant to leave the audience in tears. It probably will. One lot will certainly be moved by the predicament of a man 'saddled' with sisters for whom he must find life partners before he can marry his longtime girlfriend Sapna (Bhumi Pednekar). It is hard to believe that anybody would make a film such as this in 2022. Both its feet are firmly planted in an era long gone. The girls of Raksha Bandhan, like the film itself, are caught in a time warp. Why would young women growing up in a part of India's NCR in th...

It's not for nothing that people say Also read: Akshay Kumar calls dowry ‘extortion’ ahead of Raksha Bandhan release Raksha Bandhan stars Akshay Kumar as a brother of four girls, tasked with marrying them off. Set in the lanes of Chandni Chownk in Old Delhi, the film introduces us to Lala Kedarnath (Akshay), who owns a pushtaini golgappa shop which has been there for three generations now. Pregnant women queue up outside the shop and believe that eating panipuri from Lala's shop will help them deliver a baby boy. Meanwhile, Lala had promised his mother on her deathbed that he'll settle down with a girl only after he has married off his four sisters to suitable boys. And that's the big task at hand for the sisters, as described by matchmaker Shanu (Seema Pahwa), are a mixed variety. While the eldest of the four, Gayatri (Sadia Khateeb) is the ideal and sensible one, Durga (Deepika Khanna) is chubby and on the heavier side, Laxmi (Smrithi Srikanth) has dusky skin that doesn't fit the society's beauty standards, and the youngest, Saraswati (Sahejmeen Kaur) is tomboyish, who has grown up watching films like Ghatak, Ghayal and Ziddi, all starring Sunny Deol. Amid all this chaos, Lala's childhood sweetheart Sapna ( What I loved the most about the film is the beautiful balance it brings in terms of emotions. It's loaded with humour in the first half and there are some genuinely funny and heart-warming scenes including constant nudging from the sisters, teasing their only brother,...
