Raksha Bandhan special: Bollywood's best songs on festive eve 2014.

The last time we saw Bollywood top stars bonding and bickering on screen as siblings was in Josh where Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai's camaraderie as brother and sister overshadowed their chemistry with their respective partners. Remember Apun Bola Tu Meri Laila? And though it was not specifically a brother-sister song, one can't miss the special bond between the two in the number. Hardly, we see filmmakers showing this rishta on screen now, hopefully Zoya Akhtar's Dil Dhadhakne Do will bring back the bro-sis storyline back in Hindi cinema. Here's a look at some of the best numbers that bring out this bond so effortlessly on screen...

Phoolon Ka Taaron Ka (Hare Krishna Hare Ram)
Their romantic pairing notwithstanding, Dev Anand and Zeenat Aman will always be remembered for one of the best portryal of bhai-behen rishta in this movie.

Behna Ne Bhai Ki Kalai Se (Resham Ki Dori)
The title says it all. The Dharmendra movie was based on brother-sister bonding, not to mention the popularity of the song which is a fave on rakhi festival.

Bhaiya Mere Rakhi Ke Bandhan (Choti Behan)
Another hit number, the song stars Nanda and Balraj Sahani. The Choti Behen and bada bhai are the central characters of the film.

Dekh Sakta Hoon – Majboor
Farida Jalal unquestionably was one of the favourite sisters of Bollywood in 70s. The song aptly sets the mood of the film in which Amitabh Bachchan tries to secure his family's future after he comes to know that he may not live that long to do kanyadaan of her handicapped sister.

Meri Pyari Beheniya (Sacha Jhoota)
This one is another hit number played during the raksha bandhan festival where Rajesh Khanna dances in other girl's wedding while his own sister is struggling to catch his attention.

Mere Bhaiya Mere Chanda (Kajaal)
The song is all about a sister's love for her brother. Meena Kumari expresses her feelings for her brother and prays for his well-being.

Rakhi Dhagon Ka (Rakhi)
Ashok Kumar and Waheeda Rehman as siblings, and as the name suggests it is all about love between bhai-behen.

Meri Rakhi Ka Matlab (Tiranga)
Though it has been quite some time since its release, this song can be called the most recent number on rakhi whereVarsha Usgaonkar ties thread to her three brothers.


Ab Ke Baras Bhej (Bandini)
Bimal Roy's poignant portrayal of women inmates in jail yearning for their brothers is one of the best songs about this special love. The soulful voice of Asha Bhosle resonates in mind long after the song is over.
