Stuck with siblings this lock-down? I bet you have now run out of topics to fight upon.
While I agree that siblings can give you a tough time, we still have to be with them. Since a lot of times, you cannot really have heart-to-heart conversations with them owing to the generation gap, or your parents being around you, you can still bond.
The best way to bond is to watch some Bollywood movies together. I cannot stress how important is it to decide the right kind of movie.
You don’t want to make things awkward in the middle while staring at the ceiling. To help you make the best pick, here’s a list of Hindi Bollywood movies to watch with siblings.
22 Bollywood movies to watch with your siblings:
1. Hare Rama Hare Krishna
This 1972 classic stars legendary Zeenat, Mumtaz, and Dev Anand. You must have heard the song ‘Phoolon ka taaron ka… sabka kehna hai. Ek hazaron mei, meri behena hai..’ This song belongs to this movie. It is a poignant story but worth your time.
2. Taare Zameen Par
A 2007 release, Taare Zameen Par primarily shows the bond between a dyslexic Ishaan and his teacher who helps him. If watched with patience, you will see how Yohan (elder brother) has been empathetic towards him. It sure is a beautiful bond.
3. Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar
A sports drama starring Mamik Singh alongside Aamir Khaan is a comic and emotional movie. The portrayal of a unique bond between the two brothers has won many hearts.
4. Kapoor and Sons
A story revolving around family conflicts, Kapoor and Sons gives us a peek into the highs and lows between siblings. This fine drama has been well enacted on screen.
5. Bumm Bumm Bole
The innocent love between an elder brother and a younger sister has been correctly portrayed. The elder sibling always goes out of his/her way for the younger one. Just like our parents, they make silent sacrifices. This quality has found its way to the big screen.
6. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
A light road-trip drama about facing your fears is an enjoyable watch. Even though the movie revolves around 3 best friends, siblings are friends too! Besides, it is easier to go on road trips with them because of easy permissions.
7. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
Another movie that’s just hilarious and stuffed with drama can be scheduled for a movie night. It makes you laugh throughout. Siblings who laugh together stay together.
8. Dil Dhadakne Do
This one is a perfect family watch for a family mandatory Sunday. The movie revolves around an imperfect (read:unhappy) family. However, we see the sibling pair (played by Priyanka Chopra and Ranveer Singh) being an extraordinary role model for us.
They support each other’s dreams and aspirations even when their own parents don’t. Dil Dhadakne is my favorite movie to watch with my sibling.
9. Amar Akbar Anthony
Three brothers Amar, Akbar and Anthony get together for a comic watch. The movie is one of the classics. As many movies of that time would have it, the three kids were separated young, only to be reunited by fate.
10. Satte Pe Satta
A story of seven unsophisticated brothers falling in love with women, each out of their leagues is an action-comedy movie. The movie really is a lovely classic.
11. Hum Saath Saath Hai
This happy family is a classic watch. You have to watch this with your siblings in case you want them to learn some values. In short, it is an entertaining lesson at family morals.
12. Kai Po Che
A heart-wrenching story of 3 best friends, Kai Po Che also throws light on the relationship of a brother and sister. Ishaan and Vidya, the bro-sis duo make mistakes that we must not. Ishaan is very possessive for his sister just like many other brothers out there.
13. No One Killed Jessica
A crime and biographical thriller, this film makes for one of the best movies to watch with your siblings. The movie revolves around Sabrina (played by Vidya Balan) fighting for justice for her murdered sister Jessica. It is an intriguing watch and shows the extent to which siblings can go for each other.
14. Sarbjit
Another biographical drama, Sarbjit stars Aishwarya Rai and Randeep Hooda. Sarabjit (played by Randeep) accidentally crosses the border to Pakistan and is accused of spying which eventually leads to his death sentence. A series of events follow to show the longing of his sister who is determined to prove his innocence.
Sarabjit shows the piousness of the relationship between two siblings.
15. Hum Aapke Hain Kon
A Bollywood classic, Hum Aapke Hain Kon shows the imperishable bond between siblings. It’s a love story of its own kind. Siblings are the perfect matchmakers while they also can sacrifice everything for you.
16. Thappad
A rather different angle to the sibling relation, Thappad is a gluing watch. This is a must watch for a brother-sister duo or sisters. Somewhere down the lane it is about the younger brother not standing up, but eventually realizing his mistake. The movie will make you accept that a sibling’s support is highly imperative for someone’s struggles.
17. Chain Kulli Ki Main Kulli
If you and your siblings are a die hard cricket fan, you can watch this movie together. It is light and kiddish. So it happens that you relive your childhood with this movie.
18. English Vinglish
Not centered around siblings per se, but the movie calls for your attention. It asks you to be better humans and children to your mom. Even if you gang up against her, it doesn’t make you right.
19. Bajrangi Bhaijaan
Bajrangi meets a mute girl Shahida aka Munni and helps her reach back home. He takes care of her just like an elder sibling. The bond is pure and shows Bajrangi going out of his way.
20. Do Dooni Chaar
A middle-class Punjabi family in Delhi’s Lajpat Nagar offers you a modest story. The family goes through some ups and downs to fulfill their aspiration of buying a new car. The little quirks of the family make this comedy an easy watch with siblings.
21. Chillar Party
A comedy-drama, Chillar Party is an all-time favorite for the little ones. If you have a young sibling, watch this one together and bond. It might feel a little immature, but you can still deal with it a bit. The movie is about a group (read: gang) of kids who end up upholding constitutional values and humanitarian morals.
22. Dhanak
The movie revolves around Pari (sister) and Chotu (brother) who are siblings. It is a heart-warming story of Pari going out of her way to live up to a promise she made to visually impaired Chhotu. Dhanak portrays the innocence and decency in their love.
Without a doubt, you now have a long list of Hindi movies to watch with your siblings. This will certainly strengthen your bond. Have fun.
