Ek Rishtaa: The Bond of Love (English: One relation: The Bond of Love) is a 2001 Bollywood Family Drama film directed by Suneel Darshan released on 18 May 2001. The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Raakhee, Akshay Kumar, Juhi Chawla, Karisma Kapoor, Mohnish Bahl. It was the first film where Bachchan and Kumar worked together. The film is a family drama where a big family encounters a crisis when disputes take place between the father (Bachchan) and the son (Kumar). The film was planned to be a story about a father (Bachchan), his son (Kumar) and his daughter (Chawla), however till the time the film went in production stage, Chawla became pregnant, hence her role was changed to an extended guest appearance.
Vijay Kapoor (Amitabh Bachchan) is a successful businessman. He lives happily with his wife (Raakhee) and their four children. Ajay (Akshay Kumar), their only son who was studying abroad and has graduated from university, received an academic degree in Information Technology and came back home now.
Rajesh Purohit (Mohnish Behl) enters the family, and deviously impresses Vijay with his efficiency, and his eldest daughter Priti (Juhi Chawla) with his charm, whereas his main goal is to impoverish their family and take over Vijay's fortune.
Soon, Vijay approves the marriage of Priti and Rajesh. Meanwhile, Ajay falls in love with Nisha (Karisma Kapoor) and plans to marry her.
Vijay convinces Ajay to first gain experience in the family business, even though Ajay wants to start his own business. However, ideological differences result in disputes between the two. Consequently, Ajay stands firm in his decision to start his own business. He asks his father for economic assistance. When Vijay refuses to do so, Ajay lends a loan. When Vijay discovers this, he is furious and throws Ajay out of the house.
