WikipediaRaksha Bandhan (lit. 'Raksha Bandhan'; transl. The bond of protection) is a 2022 Indian Hindi-language family comedy-drama film directed by Aanand L. Rai and written by Himanshu Sharma and Kanika Dhillon. A remake of the 2005 Bengali film Dadar Adesh, the film stars Akshay Kumar, Bhumi Pednekar, Sadia Khateeb, Sahil Mehta, Sahejmeen Kaur, Smrithi Srikanth and Deepika Khanna.
The film was theatrically released on 11 August 2022, coinciding with Raksha Bandhan and Independence Day. It received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics, but emerged as a box office failure.
In Old Delhi, Lala Kedarnath, the eldest and only brother of four sisters named Gayatri, Durga, Laxmi, and Saraswati, runs a chaat shop named Premlata Chat Bhandar, which was started by his grandfather and is now managed by him along with his loyal helper, Gaffar. Lala promises his frail mother on her deathbed that he will only marry after fulfilling his responsibility of settling his sisters into suitable homes. Lala's relentless efforts to arrange marriages for his sisters while upholding his family values go in vain, as he faces difficulties in finding suitable grooms due to Laxmi's dark complexion, Durga's weight, and Saraswati's masculine behaviour. At the same time, Lala's commitment to his sisters becomes a major obstacle to his relationship with his childhood love, Sapna.
