Raksha Bandhan 2022: Top 5 Rakhi Scenes from Hindi Movies That Will Stay in Our Hearts for Years to Come

Raksha Bandhan is a centuries-old Hindu ceremony that celebrates the bond between brothers and their sisters. The annual rite takes place on a full moon day during the Hindu month of Sawan. The festival falls on Purnima Tithi of Shukla Paksha in the month of Sawan. This year, the day will be celebrated on two dates i.e. August 11 and 12.

There are many films that celebrate this beautiful bond among the siblings. We take a look at five Hindi movies that feature Raksha Bandhan scenes.

1. Chhoti Bahen (1959)Rajendra (Balraj Sahni) is the eldest brother who looks after the wellbeing of Meena (Nanda) and another brother, Shekhar (Rehman). When Meena suddenly loses her eyesight, Rajendra sacrifices his happiness to look after her. The memorable song Bhaiya Mere Rakhi Ke depicts an earlier, happier moment when Meena ties a Rakhi on Rajendra’s wrist during Raksha Bandhan.

3. Resham Ki Dori (1974)This film features the iconic Hindi song, Behna Ne Bhai Ke Kalai Se, performed by Suman Kalyanpur.
