Pandit Suresh Haldankar (18 December 1926 - 17 January 2000) was an Indian classical singer, actor and teacher.
His rise in the 1950s musical world of Bombay was dramatic but he failed to deliver on his promise and soon faded away from the mehfil platform.
[1] Born in Goa to a Daivadnya family, Suresh Haldankar learned classical music from Jagannathbuwa Purohit, Ganpatrao Dewaskar and Manhar Barve.
Haldankar performed in Marathi Sangeet Natak musicals and acted alongside Bal Gandharva.
[2] Acharya Atre conferred upon him the title of "Maharashtra Gandharva" after listening to his singing in Shri Ranga Kamala Kanta.
