The Genelia D'Souza-Prateik Babbar camaraderie in the recently released Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na gave a new dimension to the brother-sister relationship in Hindi films.
On some occasions, they have incorporated a slight twist in this tale -- a twist by casting two actors, who may have romanced each other in other films, as siblings.
Sometimes, one of the actors concerned has a supporting role -- like Raj Babbar (who played Rekha's brother in T Ramarao's Jeevan Dhara) or Arshad Warsi (Bipasha Basu's brother in Goal). On other occasions, there may be a large age gap between the actors concerned -- like Sunil Dutt-Neetu Singh (Jaani Dushman) or Dharmendra-Madhuri Dixit (Dushman Devta).
This formula has worked reasonably on some occasions, but overall, has had to face rejection among audiences. rediff.com takes a look at a few such 'starry' siblings, who would make better couples on screen.
