Kaalia

Kallu lives with his older brother Shamu, sister-in-law Shanti, and their daughter Munni. He is intelligent but spends his days idly playing with the neighbor's kids. The family hopes for better days.

Shamu suffers an accident at the mill and loses both arms, ending his ability to work. The injury throws the family into money troubles as medical care is required. Kallu watches his brother’s decline and his family’s hopes fade.

Kallu begs Shahani Seth, the mill boss, for money to cover Shamu's treatment, but Shahani refuses. The rejection leaves Kallu with few options and the family growing more desperate.

Kallu breaks into Shahani's safe to take money for Shamu's care, but it proves too late as Shamu dies from his injuries. The failing hope turns to rage, and Shahani has Kallu jailed.

In a nine-month jail stay, Kallu meets fellow inmates who teach him the tricks of crime and dangerous new skills. The time hardens him and reshapes his outlook toward a different life.

Upon release, Kallu adopts the name Kaalia and emerges stronger, ready to take control of his fate. He embodies a harder, more ruthless mindset than before.

Kaalia and his accomplices steal the gold Shahani had been smuggling at the mill. In a fit of revenge for his brother’s death, Kaalia also burns down the mill and leaves a trail of destruction.

Kaalia is caught and sent back to prison for two years, incarcerating him once more and delaying his plans.

During this period, his accomplices tell Shanti that Kaalia is in America earning money, and the family experiences a sudden shift from poverty to apparent wealth.

In jail, Kaalia meets Raghvir Singh, a smart, ethical jailor whose daughter was kidnapped by a prisoner years earlier. Raghvir’s values plant seeds of Kaalia’s later choices.

After his release, Kaalia seeks vengeance and partners with Shalini, the grown daughter of the jailor who becomes a key ally in his plan.

Shahani kidnaps Kaalia’s niece and forces Shanti to testify against him at a murder trial; Kaalia is convicted of a murder he didn’t commit and makes a bold escape to clear his name.

The warden initially pursues Kaalia but, after learning the truth, decides to help him and joins the plan to rescue his niece.

They reach the boss’s place and find the little girl and the sister-in-law in danger. The boss reveals that he kidnapped his own daughter 20 years ago and that Shalini is now grown up; Kaalia defeats Shahani and chops off his arm.
