The film has Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar in the lead roles and Sadia Khateeb, Sahejmeen Kaur, Smrithi Srikanth and Deepika Khanna playing the roles of Akshay’s sisters.
Raksha Bandhan did not stand up to its expectations as it is being criticised for showing marriage as the most important factor in the lives of women and a lenient view on issues like dowry.
