Put together the year 1964, the names like Dara Singh, Ameeta, Feroze Khan, Mumtaz, King Kong, Tiger Jogender, a director by the name Nanabhai Bhatt, and a film title like Samson. And here is a ready recipe for a B/C grade stunt film. The name and presence of Dara Singh could well have been the saving grace of this film, in the local B/C grade cinema halls circuit, and likewise the name of the film does not sound so unfamiliar.
