Raksha Bandhan is a 2022 Indian Hindi-language comedy-drama film directed by Aanand L. Rai and produced by Colour Yellow Productions, Zee Studios, and Cape of Good Films. It stars Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar, with Sadia Khateeb, Deepika Khanna, Smriti Shrikant, and Sahejmeen Kaur in supporting roles. The film follows Lala Kedarnath (Kumar), the eldest and only brother of four sisters, who runs a chaat shop in Old Delhi. He promises his frail mother on her deathbed that he will only get married after he fulfills the responsibility of marrying his sisters into suitable homes first.

Lala's relentless efforts of getting his sisters married while upholding his family values go in vain, as he faces hurdles to find suitable grooms due to Laxmi's dark skin, Durga's weight, and Saraswati's masculine behavior. Meanwhile, Lala's childhood love, Sapna (Pednekar), returns to his life and they start dating. However, their relationship is strained by Lala's commitment to his sisters.

As the pressure to marry off his sisters mounts, Lala begins to question his own beliefs and the social norms that govern them. He realizes that his sisters are capable and independent women who deserve to choose their own partners. He also realizes that the dowry system is a harmful practice that needs to be eradicated.

In the end, Lala breaks all ties with Sapna and asks her to marry the guy of her father's choice. But on Sapna's wedding day, her father realizes that she is still in love with Lala and asks her to break the alliance. Sapna breaks the marriage and decides to wait for Lala.

Lala's sisters also go on to achieve their own goals and aspirations. Durga becomes a lawyer and fights for the rights of women. Laxmi marries a man who loves her for who she is, regardless of her skin color. Saraswati finds success in her career and learns to embrace her true self.

Raksha Bandhan is a heartwarming tale about the unbreakable bond between siblings and the importance of celebrating family values while challenging harmful social norms. It is a film that will stay with you long after you watch it.
