The film's engaging powerful anti-dowry sentiments, along with Akshay's brilliant comic timing, ensures that there is enough to keep the audience tied for ...

because the brother is being played by Akshay. Education doesn’t seem to be on the priority list of the formidable wedding planner (Seema Pahwa) either. Why the girls are so focused on finding a groom at an age where they should be keen on finding their feet is left without a discussion. Kedarnath is so worried about the wedding of his sisters that he delays his own marriage with his love interest Sapna (Bhumi Pednekar). Why can’t his sisters find love or why can’t Sapna pick up a job? An expert at pulling the heartstrings, in a way, Aanand has returned to the Tanu Weds Manu zone which lends Akshay the platform to flex his irreverent funny bone. Set in Old Delhi, in the week of gol gappas, Akshay plays Lala Kedarnath, who runs a chaat shop where his speciality is water pancakes for pregnant women who want a male child. When players are out of form, they are advised to spend some time on the home turf.

Aanand L Rai's Raksha Bandhan, starring Akshay Kumar is here. But is it worth a watch, is it worth to be chosen over Aamir Khan's Laal SIngh Chaddha?

He hits the ball out of the park. It takes away the intensity of the scene and doesn’t land the same impact as it should have had. For example, in one scene in the latter half of the film, the moustached Akshay Kumar also has his natural facial hair visible. Raksha Bandhan is here on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan. The Aanand L Rai film, that stars Akshay Kumar in the lead, and focuses on his character’s relationship with his four sisters, has the simplest of premises. He has the archaic mindset that it would ensure that his sisters would be happy in their new lives.
