The movie has none of the edginess of Chaahat (1996), in which Ajay (Naseeruddin Shah) harbours an obsessive love for his sister Reshma (Ramya Krishna), making him do batty things to her love interest Roop (Shah Rukh Khan). Bina sings a hilarious paean Nahi Khaate Hai Bhaiya Mere Paan in praise of her sibling. Is it incest or brotherly love? The relationship has a cloying sweetness, never plunging into anything dark or a three-hanky melodrama. Amar tries to thwart their union because he does not want to be separated from his sister. Bina grows up into a confident young woman (Nalini Jaywant) who falls in love with Harish (Rajender). He avoids the company of other women to devote himself to her. In Mehboob Khan’s Behen (1941), Amar (Sheikh Mukhtar) raises his sister Bina (Meena Kumari) after a flood wipes out their family. More often than not, they are paragons of virtue, symbols of family honour, and the ultimate representatives of selfless and selfish love. Sisters can be aggravating (for instance, Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na, 2008, and Dil Dhadakne Do, 2015) and are often shoved aside when a hero falls in love. Binny isn’t the latest iteration of the loving and long-suffering sister, who has the ability to inspire immense feeling in her male sibling. The Rajkummar Rao and Shruti Haasan starrer is about Gattu’s refusal to harbour sisterly feelings for Binny, his neighbour. The June 2 release Behen Hogi Teri isn’t about one of Hindi cinema’s stock characters.
