Trivia
- The film's title 'Aag Hi Aag' translates to 'Fire Only Fire', symbolising the protagonist's burning quest for vengeance.
- It was one of several revenge dramas released in the late 1980s inspired by the success of films like 'Zakhmi Aurat'.
- Actor Mithun Chakraborty, known for disco hits, took a more serious action-hero role in this film.
- The movie features a soundtrack by Bappi Lahiri, who was the dominant music composer for commercial cinema at the time.
- A subplot involves the hero's army background, a common trope used to justify a character's combat skills in such films.
