#Sureelee Suman – Suman Kalyanpur – 28.01.1937 – 31.05.2026) #

Suman Kalyanpur the ‘Sureelee Suman’ of Hindi Film Music, and many regional languages music passed away on 31st May 2026. She was born on 28th January 1937. The news of her passing away came as a shock to music lovers. I got this news first on a WhatsApp group which I did not want to believe. When I checked on internet there was no such news. It was only on the next day that several sources carried this news and this bad news was confirmed.

As a music lover I had been listening to the voice of Suman Kalyanpur from early childhood. After coming into contact with this blog, I got the opportunity to share many of her songs and I enjoyed listening to these songs in the process of preparing their writeups.

‘Shrimaanji’ (1968) was produced and directed by Ram Dayal under his banner, Mukul Enterprises. The cast included Kishore Kumar, I S Johar, Jeevan, Asha Nadkarni, Meena Rai, Shahida, Asit Sen, Wasti, Murad, Ram Kamlani, Hiralal, Neelam, W M Khan, Veena, Madhumati, Sharifa etc.

With Kishore Kumar and I S Johar in the main roles, apparently, the film belongs to comedy genre. However, the first 30 minutes of the film is melodramatic. It is only when the two protagonists turn to their adulthoods, the story gets switched over to comedy until the last about 30 minutes when the story turns into a murder and court room drama. There is no actress in the lead role in the film.
