Tak’s last directorial was the 2006 Salman Khan film Saawan… The Love Season. His first project as a producer was the 1967 film Naunihal, which received a special mention at the National Film Awards. His other movies include Hawas, Ab Kya Hoga, Laila, Souten, Sanam Bewafa and Dil Pardesi Ho Gaya.
In an earlier conversation with The Hindu, Sawan Kumar Tak shared that he made his first film Naunihal with a loan of Rs 25,000 that he took from a family member. “I came to Mumbai from Jaipur in 1965 to become an actor. I tried my luck at two-three studios. When I didn’t get a break, I decided to start from the top. I requested my sister to lend Rs 25,000 to produce a film. I had an idea about an orphan whose principal tells him that he has a relative in the form of Pandit Nehru. My sisters refused but my brother-in-law agreed. So I produced Naunihal,” he had said.
