Raksha Bandhan

RakshaBandhan review: Akshay Kumar's films delivers a strong message on dowry without trivialising the issue while managing to be an entertaining watch.

Consistency in the narrative is one of the biggest strengths of the film. While many think it's a thing that's more prevalent in the rural sectors and the cities have advanced on this front, it's just not the case. It's loaded with humour in the first half and there are some genuinely funny and heart-warming scenes including constant nudging from the sisters, teasing their only brother, Sapna's desperate attempts to lure Lala and so on. And that's the big task at hand for the sisters, as described by matchmaker Shanu (Seema Pahwa), are a mixed variety. With his latest release, Raksha Bandhan, Akshay only proves that if a film has its heart in the right place, it will connect with the audiences. This is not the first time the actor has done a film that's relevant and has a strong social message — Raksha Bandhan touches upon the issue of dowry system in India. But it's the way director Aanand L Rai chooses to narrate the story, weaving together the most delicate threads to deliver a strong message, that does the trick.

Raksha Bandhan 2022: Riddhima Kapoor Sahni wished her brother, Ranbir Kapoor, 'Happy Raksha Bandhan' with an adorable picture. She posted the click on her ...

Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt tied the knot in an intimate ceremony on April 14 this year. Meanwhile, the picture Riddhima shared with Ranbir is from his and Alia's pre-wedding festivities. She wished the Brahmastra actor 'Happy Raksha Bandhan' on Instagram by posting an adorable unseen picture from his wedding celebrations.

Celebrating Raksha Bandhan is a joyous occasion no doubt, but wishing your siblings can get monotonous sometimes, with the same texts year in, year out.

Happy Raksha Bandhan. Though we might not be in the same city this year, I am sending you a lovely rakhi along with a note written just for you.Bhaiya, happy Raksha Bandhan! - The rakhi that you tie around my wrist strengthens our bond with each passing day. You have always been a great support system, my guide, and my saviour. - I wish my dearest brother a very Happy Raksha Bandhan. I promise to be with you always. - We may fight over trivial things but we know that we will always be there for each other.

The day – also known as 'Rakhi' – offers Hindus the opportunity to celebrate the bond and love between a brother and sister, or siblings in general.

As one of the oldest festivals in India, Raksha Bandhan – also known as “Rakhi” – is a day that celebrates the bond and love between a brother and sister, or siblings in general. This year it falls on Thursday, 11 August. “Raksha bandhan” translates to mean “the bond of safety and security” that siblings promise each other, no matter the circumstances.

On the Internet and in newspapers, there are a lot of fake articles about Raksha Bandhan, but no one gives real sources.

I ask all my Sanatani brothers and sisters to only believe what is written in the scriptures and not what is written in fake internet articles or by fake historians. Rana Safvi says that the Mughals celebrated Raksha Bandhan. She said that Raksha Bandhan is a Mughal holiday by quoting a newspaper. In the 12th century, Brahmins (Paliwals) often gave Rakhi to Kshatriya. For example, in 1273 CE, at Pali, Brahmins gave Rakhi to King Rao Rathore to wish him well. Archaeology shows that the Bhavishya Puran was also written before the 18th century, but I know they won't believe me, so I gave you a source from the 12th century about Pali Brahmins. This is an attempt to make Rakhi a Mughal holiday and get everyone to think that all of your Sanatan holidays were made up by the Mughals. So, The potli was made of silk and contained good things like rice, yellow mustard, sandalwood, and other things. This is what Krishna told Yudhishthira about the story and the rituals that went along with it. Then, King fought bravely and gave his life to protect the villagers. All over India, people are excited and enthusiastic about Raksha Bandhan. We, commoners, have always thought of this festival as a time for brother and sister to love and bond. I've seen that many people have used the story of Draupadi giving Krishna a woollen cloth as an example, but this isn't in Ved Vyas's Mahabharata or in our Puranas or Vedas. Some people think that Parvati tied Rakhi to Vishnu's wrist, which is also a lie because it isn't written anywhere in our scriptures. Shukracharya told them that Indrani Sachi had tied a source of protection, called the Raksha Sutra, to Indra's hand. Many people also say that the Yamuna tied Rakhi to Yamraj, but the scriptures don't say where they got that idea. Also, many people tell the Bali story in Patal Lok about Raksha Bandhan, but it's not in the scriptures.
