Mumbai, August 10 - The much-awaited family comedy-drama film, Raksha Bandhan, starring Akshay Kumar, is finally hitting theaters worldwide tomorrow (August 11). Directed by Anand L Rai, Raksha Bandhan is touted to revive the family drama genre, which used to be the strongest zone of the Bollywood industry.

The movie revolves around Lala Kedarnath (Akshay), who runs a street food shop, the third generation of his family to do so. He plays a role of a brother whose primary concern is getting his four sisters married, and at the same time, dealing with the problem of dowry. The movie also stars Bhumi Pednekar, Sadia Khateeb, Sahejmeen Kaur, Smrithi Srikanth, and Deepika Khanna in key roles.



Meanwhile, Raksha Bandhan has had a premiere in Delhi ahead of the film's official release. The first critics' reviews have also started coming online and they are largely positive. Have a look at some of the reviews.

#RakshaBandhan [3.5/5] : A powerful movie against dowry system and the society's preference for boys over gals..

Starts on a lighter note and turns serious in the 2nd half..@akshaykumar has lived the role of a middle class elder brother with 4 sisters..

He is too good.. 👌

#RakshaBandhan has been watched and I am overwhelmed right now. After a long time I liked an #AkshayKumar film so much. Director @aanandlrai gets it right this time and delivers a perfect family entertainer. I’m sure it’ll be big hit. Also liked @sadiakhateeb a lot.

#RakshaBandhan is largely SUPERFICIAL in its emotions; The characters don’t have a graph & the crisp runtime makes it DIFFICULT TO RELATE with the core conflict. Had the potential, but, falters in execution. It has the emotional TRAPPINGS but nothing connects.

2 stars (⭐️⭐️)

@akshaykumar delivers career best performance in @aanandlrai's hard-hitting and timely social drama brilliantly written by @KanikaDhillon and #HimanshuSharma. @bhumipednekar and others also need to be commended for delivering memorable performances#RakshaBandhan #RakshaBandan pic.twitter.com/A7YnFGxZMt

Thank you @akshaykumar for picking an important subject like dowry, which has reduced someone's daughters/sisters to merely a transaction & made marriage a business. Hope ur belief in this story can bring about a change & many families feel empowered after watching #RakshaBandhan
