Dushman
Who could forget the chilling, edge of the seat thriller featuring Kajol, Ashutosh Rana and Sanjay Dutt? While Ashutosh took home the chills and shouts of the audience, it was the love of Kajol for her twin sister and her will to avenge her sister's death, that won the hearts of the audience.

Makdi
Another twin sister story, this child-thriller film was a brilliant piece made by Vishal Bharadwaj. Shweta Prasad essayed the role of Chunni Munni.

Another one from the vision of Sooraj Barjatya, this one showed an ideal relationship between two sisters and two brothers.

Haseena Maan Jaayegi
This comic ride starring Govinda and Sanjay Dutt as brothers is one of the most hilarious films of late 90's. What's adorable it the bond shared by Govinda and Sanjay Dutt and how they help each other and become the back bone of each other at every possible step.
Gangs of Wasseypur
This film was all about relationships and vengeance. A son avenging his father's death, a brother avenging his brother's death and a mother always defending her sons action. This film had some badass action but an unsaid, unconditional love for siblings. Kudos to Anurag Kashyap for portraying sibling-love in the most subtle way possible!
Dil Dhadakne Do
This Zoya Akhtar directorial was about a dysfunctional family cruising on a ship with some close and not so close family and friends. The only 'functional' relationship was that of Ayesha and Kabir. Played by Priyanka Chopra and Ranveer Singh, this brother-sister duo bonded on their broken family, their fears and expectations. Kabir was Ayesha's support system and guide, while Ayesha made sure to be on Kabir's side always.
