Trivia
- The film was originally titled 'Baadal Aur Bijli' but was shortened to just 'Baadal' upon release.
- Actor Mithun Chakraborty performed many of his own stunts, including the waterfall scene, without a body double.
- The movie's soundtrack by Laxmikant-Pyarelal includes a song reused from their earlier Telugu film 'Maga Maharaju'.
- It was one of the few 1980s films where the hero, played by Mithun, is named after a natural element like a cloud ('Baadal').
- The film's climax was shot in the rocky terrain of Mahabaleshwar, known for its difficult weather conditions.
- Actress Padmini Kolhapure, who played Meenakshi, was primarily known for girl-next-door roles, making this a slight shift.
- Despite the family drama genre, the film underperformed at the box office compared to Mithun's action hits of the era.
