Daughters are always special, and Bollywood makes sure to narrate stories that connect in a wholesome manner. As we celebrate Daughters Day 2024, heres a look at some amazing father-daughter on-screen pairings that we absolutely love.
1. Piku
This one, of course, had to top the list of Bollywood movies on Daughter's Day. Piku celebrates the true spirit of a father-daughter relationship and the bond they develop as the former gets old.Deepika Padukone beautifully essays the role of a daughter living with her adorable father, Amitabh Bachchan, whose entire life revolves around constipation. The film's end will leave you teary-eyed.
2. Angrezi Medium
They say daughters are burdens on her family, but in this movie, Irrfan Khan showed how a daughter can reach for the stars when given the right kind of guidance and support to achieve her dreams.Irrfan-Radhika Madan's bond shown in Angrezi Medium will make every daughter thankful for having a loving and supportive father.
3. Secret Superstar
Everybody talks about Daddy's little girl, but seldom does anyone address a mother-daughter's precious bond. Zaira Wasim, who plays an aspiring singer, finds her biggest support in her mother.Secret Superstar beautifully touches on how an encouraging parent can go against the world to fulfill their children's dreams and wishes.
4. Thappad
What happens when a daughter's happily married life turns into a nightmare after her husband feels he has the right to slap her? In a conservative society, parents would usually ask women to adjust.But Kumud Mishra in Thappad went against everything and everyone to stand by his daughter. The Taapsee Pannu starrer showed a beautifully and highly relatable bond between a father and daughter.
5. Gunjan Saxena
Give your daughter wings to fly; she will make you proud. A famous saying that was taken quite literally by Pankaj Tripathi, the on-screen father of Janhvi Kapoor in Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl.While the story revolved around her Kargil mission, the movie subtly touches upon a father-daughter relationship that shatters stereotypes.
