#RakshabandhanSpecial: 5 YouTube short-films that capture love-hate relationship of siblings
There's nothing like a brother-sister bond. How can you possibly explain hating and loving someone with equal measure, every single day of your life? You can't. No one can really forget the fights they had with siblings and the way they protected each other (sometimes from parents too!). On Rakshabandhan today, we list 5 YouTube films which manage to capture this love-filled bond.
Equality wins: Don't get mad, get even
We are even - a sister and a brother's secret is a wonderful take by Pocket Films. The story explores the secrets that the siblings uncover about each other. The protective love of the brother is depicted wonderfully in the film, along with a powerful message that a brother is the only person who sees the sister as an equal despite her gender!
Blood is always thicker than water
Meri Pyaari Behna?, by Ashish Chanchlani vines, shows how siblings annoy each other all the time. Muskan and Ashish bring real-life chemistry to screen. The way the sister always has the father's support or how the middle sibling has to pick sides is hilarious. However, they stick together when they pick a fight with an outsider, and the unity is all that matters.
The ethos of a middle class family
Behen Bhai in a Desi Family by Amit Bhadana is an excellent exploration of sibling relationships in a middle-class family. The two constantly bicker, but always stand up for each other in front of outsiders. More importantly, the social awareness of the brother regarding women getting married-off at a young age and the evils of dowry makes this film pretty relevant.
Sibling before Squabbling
Bro-Sis Code by Girliyapa is an episodic short film. It explores two sides of siblings' relationship. The first story shows siblings working together to get the better of the parents. The other story portrays how siblings annoy but also support each other. The humor in this short film is subtle, well played, hence more relatable. It will make you treasure your sibling more!
Love them, hate them and everything in between
FilterCopy's Stuff Brothers and Sisters Do ends on a touching note of a sister silently being there for her brother in his time of need. Notably, the video starts in a way that most people with siblings will appreciate. The brother constantly nags the sister to make her mad. The funniest scene is when siblings argue and the sister's boyfriend gets caught in between!
