==Premise==
Baba and Avinash are brothers who live in a shanty house with their widowed mother, who makes a living by working as a housemaid. When a stalker attempts to assault their mother, Baba kills him and the three, along with an orphan named Nawab, take shelter with a crime boss named Uncle. Baba would like Avinash to study and become a better person, and in order to do this, he decides to earn money in the underworld. Avinash completes his training and becomes an [[Inspector]], where his first assignment is to arrest Baba and Nawab - much to his shock as he had never associated Baba with having any criminal background. Avinash must now decide whether to proceed with apprehending Baba and Nawab or resign from the police force.

==Production==
''Aatish'' uses elements fairly similar to ''[[Deewaar]]'' (1975), written by [[Salim–Javed]], with Sanjay Dutt as the older criminal brother (inspired by [[Amitabh Bachchan]]'s character in ''Deewaar''), Atul Agnihotri as the younger police brother (inspired by [[Shashi Kapoor]]'s character in ''Deewaar'') and Tanuja as the mother. ''Aatish'' had a story "straight out of ''Deewar''" but added a twist, with the mother supporting the criminal brother.<ref name="Chaudhuri245">{{cite book|last=Chaudhuri|first=Diptakirti|title=Written by Salim-Javed: The Story of Hindi Cinema's Greatest Screenwriters|date=2015|publisher=[[Penguin Books]]|isbn=9789352140084|page=245|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Cri9CgAAQBAJ&pg=PT245|language=en}}</ref> In addition, ''Aatish'' also unofficially reworked elements of [[John Woo]]'s [[Hong Kong film]], ''[[A Better Tomorrow]]'' (1986).<ref name="Peirse">{{cite book|last=Peirse|first=Alison|title=Korean Horror Cinema|date=2013|publisher=[[Edinburgh University Press]]|isbn=9780748677658|page=190|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RkurBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA190|language=en}}</ref>
