“Kaalia”(1981) was produced by Iqbal Singh and directed by Tinnu Anand for Bobby Enterprises. The movie had Asha Parekh, Amitabh Bachchan, Parveen Babi, Pran, Ram Sethi, Sudhir, Kader Khan, Hira Lal, K.N.Singh, Dev Kumar, Amjad Khan, Heena Kauser, Sajjan, Murad, Jagirdar, Brahmachari, Yunus Parvez, Raza Murad, Bob Christo, Ranjit Chaudhary, Dev Kishen, Baby Khushboo, Baby Geeta, Pardesi, Mushtaq Khan, Nikki, Anwar, Anjan Srivastav, Ravi Khanna, Chaand, Romeo, Manohar, Anjan, Brahm Bhardwaj, Ranjit Sood, Naseem, Rana, Jezebel, Purnima, Manohar, Jagdeep etc in it.
This movie had come at a stage in amitabh Bachchan’s career when he had reached the top. His performance had “anger” as well as “hunger” during his rise to the top, as seen in films like “Zanjeer” (1973), “Deewaar”(1975), “Trishul”(1978), “Don”(1978) etc, but his performances in 1980s lacked such “hunger” to perform. Instead most of his roles in 1980s followed the same usual formula. So much so that I was unable to tell the story, songs, actors and stories of different Amitabh Bachchan movies of that decade. Honestly, I cannot tell “Kaalia”(1981) from “Laawaaris”(1981) without looking it up online.
There were still people who had not become saturated with such repetitive stuff of course. It would take another few years before even they would no longer be able to digest it.
Since I had forgotten the story, despite having watched the movie during its first run, here is the story of the movie as contained in wikipedia:
Kaalia (Amitabh Bachchan) lives with his older brother (Kadar Khan), sister-in-law (Asha Parekh), and their little daughter. He spends his time idly playing with the neighbour’s kids. His older brother gets into accident at work at the mill and loses his arms. He loses his job and needs money for treatment. Kaalia begs his brother’s boss (Amjad Khan), but he refuses. Kaalia breaks into the boss’ safe to get the money but it’s too late as the brother dies. The boss throws Kaalia in jail for nine months. This is where he meets the men that teach him crime (kallu se kalia ka safar shuro hota hai). After his release, Kaalia is a different, stronger man. He and his accomplices steal the gold that the boss had been smuggling at the mill. Then he burns down the mill as retribution for his brother’s death.
He goes to jail again, this time for 2 years. His accomplices lie to his sister-in-law by telling her that he is in America earning a lot of money for her and her daughter. They move from poverty into riches. In jail, Kaalia meets the warden (Pran), a smart, ethical, strong man, whose daughter was kidnapped by one of the prisoners when she was little. After Kaalia is released from prison, he is bent on seeking vengeance and eventually pairs up with a woman (Parveen Babi). The boss kidnaps Kaalia’s niece and forces her mother to testify against Kaalia in a murder trial. He is found guilty for a murder he didn’t commit and escapes from prison to find his niece. At first, the warden chases him and once he knows the true story, decides to help him. They go to the boss’s place and not only find the little girl but also the sister-in-law about to die. The boss reveals to the warden that he was the one who had kidnapped his daughter 20 years ago and now it’s the grown up Parveen Babi’s character. They fight with him and the boss gets beaten up badly. Everyone lives happily after.
The movie had six songs in it. Five songs from the movie have been discussed in the past.
Here is the sixth and final song from “Kaalia”(1981) to appear in the blog. This song is a mujra song which is sung by Asha Bhonsle. I am unable to identify the actress lip syncing the song. I request our knowledgeable readers to help identify her. One can identify Amjad as her patron of chief during the mujra performance. 🙂
Majrooh Sultanpuri is the lyricist. Music is composed by R D Burman.
With this song, “Kaalia”(1981) joins the list of movies that have all their songs covered in the blog.

dil to dete nahin een
dil to dete nahin
kehte ho sawaal achcha hai ae ae
dil to dete nahin
kehte ho sawaal achcha hai
wo alag baandh ke rakha hai
jo maal achcha hai ae
dil to dete nahin
kehte ho sawaal achcha hai
wo alag baandh ke rakha hai
jo maal achcha hai ae
dil to dete nahin
jab dil maanga
keh dete ho
ye kya naadaani hai ae
bholepan ke din hain abhi
uthhti jawaani hai
oo
jab dil maanga
keh dete ho
ye kya naadaani hai ae
bholepan ke din hain abhi
uthhti jawani hai
kahin kho jaayega
kho jaayega
kahin kho jaayega aa
cheez ye anmol hai
cheez ye anmol hai
aapka khayaal achcha hai
wo alag baandh ke rakha hai
jo maal achcha hai ae
dil to dete nahin
dil mein laakhon kasmein khaa kar
jab jab hum aate hain
ho jhoothha waada karte ho
hum maan jaate hain
oo dil mein laakhon kasamein khaa kar
jab jab hum aate hain
jhoothha waada karte ho
hum maan jaate hain
jab chaaha sanam
chaaha sanam
jab chaaha sanam m
humko behla diya
humko behla diya
yaar ye kamaal achcha hai
wo alag baandh ke rakha hai
jo maal achcha hai ae
dil to dete nahin
kehte ho sawaal achcha hai
wo alag baandh ke rakha hai
jo maal achcha hai ae
dil to dete nahin ee ee

Hinda Kauser played Amitabh`s sister`s role in Amitabh`s Adalat, the famous Mukesh`s song “Behnaa o behna main teri doli leke” was picturised on her and Amitji in that movie.
