Samay Bada Balwan is a 1969 Hindi social moral drama film produced and directed by Sohrab Modi.[1] Modi had sold his studio a year earlier but tried to revive the Minerva Movietone banner by producing this film.[2] The music director was Usha Khanna with lyrics written by D. N. Madhok.[3] This was the only film in which Modi used Usha Khanna as a music composer.[4] Mehtab acted together again with Modi in Samay Bada Balwan in a supporting role as Modi's wife. This was to be the last acting role of her career. The film starred Sohrab Modi, Mehtab, Aruna Irani, Sailesh Kumar, Shahida, David, and Helen.[5]
The film was a moralistic drama about valuing relationships irrespective of the hardships people face. The story follows the reversal of fortunes Uttam (Sohrab Modi) faces, first the failure in his business, and then the improvement again, showcasing people's response to him along the way.
