This fiery drama traces the creation of the feared Kaalia - A name that spells terror in the minds of people and the police, but Kaalia was not always like this.
Years ago he was a mere simpleton. Living simply in a shanty chawl with his elder brother, Shyamlal, Bhabhi (Sister -in-law), whom he adored and their daughter Munni. Apart from them there is no one else in Kallu's little world until one day, an enemy in the guise of Shahani Seth appears. Shahani shatters the happiness in Kallu's life.
That same day the young Kallu dies, and the dreaded Kaalia is born, Kaalia's main motive in life becomes wealth, and to destroy Shahani. This path of violence leads Kaalia to inspector Raghubir Singh's jail. Outside of jail, Shahani starts reclaiming his power, and inside jail, Kaalia clashes with Raghubir Singh.

Continuity
When Kallu fails to escape from the jail, after Raghuveer beats him up there is no blood on his face. But in the cell scene where he has been chained by the officers, there is blood there.
Revealing Mistakes
When Kallu is driving the car which he borrowed from the showroom, he moves the gear lever inconsistently to put the car into reverse - sometimes backwards, sometimes forwards.

Trivia:
The popular actress Kushboo Sundar (as Baby Khushboo), played a cameo in this movie as a child artist, enacting the role of Rina.
Tinnu Anand chased Amitabh Bachchan for a year before getting the chance to show him his script. Amitabh liked, was impressed by Tinnu's confidence, and agreed to sign for the film.
Due to financial and time constraints, the song "Jahan Teri Ye Nazar Hai" was filmed on the sets of Namak Halal (1982), another Amitabh Bachchan blockbuster.
Director Tinnu Anand dubbed for several extra actors in the film.
