To love, to entertain, and to annoy are part of their job requirements. They are the protective warriors, following you around in every thick and thin of your life. 

It's a sacred and special day dedicated to a brother, sisters put a Tikka on their brother's forehead and offer prayers for their happiness and health.

The words 'Bhai' and 'Dooj' both refer to the second day following the new moon. Therefore, the festival is held on the second day of Shukla Paksha of the month of Kartik, two days subsequent to Diwali. Bhai Dooj is also known as Bhai Teeka (Nepal), Bhai Phonta (West Bengal, Assam, Tripura, Bangladesh), Bhaiya Dooj (Uttar Pradesh, Bihar), Bhau Beej (Maharashtra, Goa, Gujarat, Karnataka), Bhai Jiuitiya (Odisha), and Bhathru Dwithiya (Andhra Pradesh, Telangana).

In Haryana and Maharashtra, those who don't have a brother or whose brother lives far away from them, pray and perform aarti for the moon. This is the reason why the children of Hindu parents affectionately call the moon Chandamama

According to some traditional tales, Lord Krishna visited his sister Subhadra on the day after liquidating the demon Narakasura. Subhadra welcomed him by donning a tilak on his forehead. This day is thus called Bhai Dooj.

This day is also known as Yama Dwitheya, to celebrate a legendary meeting between Yama, the god of Death, and his sister the Yamuna, the famous river on Dwitheya, the second day after the new moon.

Bhai Dooj is that time of the year when we all want to get pampered by our brothers and sisters.

Here is a list of a few movies which depict a perfect sibling bond:


Hare Rama Hare Krishna (1971)


Most remembered for it's song 'Phoolon Ka Taaron Ka' which portrays the love of a brother for his sister. The movie features the evergreen stars Dev Anand and Zeenat Aman as long lost siblings and focuses on the sibling bond as a central theme. It shows how far a brother can go to get his sister on the right track after she's involved in a life of drugs and alcohol.

Hum Saath Saath Hain (1999)

Hum Saath-Saath Hain (1999) - IMDb

One of the most successful movies of the 90s area, depicting family relationships and togetherness. The three brothers in this movie were always there for their sister, Sangita played by the very beautiful Neelam. Just how brothers should be! The film also touches upon the rift the society can try to cause between siblings who share different parents but the genuine love these siblings share for one another beats against all odds.

Josh (2000)

Aishwarya Rai | Shah Rukh Khan | Throwback Thursday: This cute still of Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan from 'Josh' will make you want to revisit the film

This movie was about the overprotectiveness of a brother for his caring sister - quite understanding when you've lost your parents at a young age and your sibling is the only family you've ever known and had. Who ever imagined Shahrukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai could act as siblings so perfectly to the T?

Fiza (2000)

Fiza - Movies on Google Play

Fiza was one emotional thriller. An unforgettable movie about a sister in search of her lost brother due to the Bombay riots in 1993. Aman (played by Hrithik) has joined a terrorist group and commits several crimes before reaching the ultimate end from the hands of his beloved api, Fiza. The movie shows the unconditional love and support of a sister and her fight to bring him back home.

Dil Dhadakne Do (2015)

Flashback Friday: Watch Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra groove with the team of 'Dil Dhadakne Do' on 'Gallan Goodiyaan' in this rehearsal video | Hindi Movie News - Times of India

Although this movie was more about the representation of Indian families today, the sibling bond between the characters of Kabir and Ayesha played by Ranveer and Priyanka is something that touches fans' hearts. The siblings are loyal and honest towards one another, having each others back against all odds and ensuring no one comes between them including their own parents.

Gangubai Kathiawadi (2022)

Gangubai Kathiawadi trailer: Alia Bhatt shines as feisty queen of Kamathipura, Ajay Devgn makes powerful cameo. Watch | Bollywood - Hindustan Times

This movie depicts a bond of a brother and sister quite differently from the rest. They are not blood-related, yet their bond is just as strong, if not even stronger after Rahim (played by Ajay) rescues her and fights for her justice.
