‘Taqdeer Ki Tope’ (1939) was produced and directed by Vithaldas Panchotia under the banner of Shri Bharat Lakshmi Pictures. The cast included Master Nissar, Husn Bano, Vithaldas Panchotia, Jyotsana Gupta, Sultana Banu, Fakir Mohammed, Abdul Kabuli, Narbada Shankar, Master Gama, Shanti Devi, Aruna Devi etc. I have no idea about the genre of the film. I came across the name of the film while listening, for the first time, the audio clip of a song rendered by Master Nisaar. I found the song interesting because it is rendered by Master Nissar in the Hindustani semi-classical style. Before I listened to the song, I was under the impression that Master Nissar was an actor first and had to sing for himself as during his time, the playback singing system was yet to be evolved. But his voice sounded like a trained singer.

Today, January 28, 2026, is the 89th birthday of playback singer, Suman Kalyanpur whose career growth got stunted because she remained under the shadow of a ‘banyan tree’ called Lata Mangeshkar. Sometime, having a voice quality too close to that of the top most playback singer of the film industry becomes a bane.
Suman Kalyanpur was born in Dhaka (now in Bangla Desh) as Suman Hemmadi when her father was working in Central Bank of India, Dhaka. The family belonged to Hemmadi village in Kundapura taluka, now in Udupi district of Karnataka. The family shifted from Dhaka to Mumbai in 1943 on her father’s transfer. Suman Kalyanpur was interested in singing and painting. After passing her Matriculation exam from St Columbia High School, she joined Sir J J School of Arts with Painting as the main subject. Simultaneously, she started her musical training under Keshavrao Bhole and later Ustad Khan Abdul Rehman Khan. She started singing on All India Radio in 1952. She got her first playback singing opportunity for a Marathi film, ‘Shukrachi Chaandni’ (1953).
