 Discovered
and promoted by music directors Laxmikant Pyarelal,
Kavita Krishnamurti was one of the few singers who
managed to hold on to her own when the likes of
Asha and Lata ruled the female playback singing.
More than two decades later, Kavita Krishnamurti
continue to enthrall the listeners with her mellifluous
voice.
Impressed by Krishnamurthy's
skills, Laxmikant offered her work as a dubbing
vocalist, cutting demos of songs intended for superstar
female singers like Lata Mangeshkar and Asha
Bhosle. "Kaahe Ko Byaahi" was the first
song to be featured in a film using Krishnamurthy's
own vocal, but it took until 1985 for her to land
her first major hit, "Tumse Milkar Na Jaane
Kyon." This opened up opportunities for Krishnamurthy
outside of the Laxmikant/Pyarelal camp, in which
she had worked almost exclusively up to that point
The early LP films included Ladies Tailor, Raaste
Pyar Ke, Jeevan Dhaara, Jeeo Aur Jeene Do, Ghar
Ek Mandir, Zakhmee Sher, John Jani Janardhan and
Ek Nai Paheli.The hits with LP continued, with chartbusters
like 'Saudagar sauda kar' and 'Ilu Ilu' (Saudagar),
'Jumma Chumma De De' (Hum), 'Nayak Nahin' (Khal
Nayak), 'Ranjha Ranjha' (Heer Ranjha) and others
in films like Prahaar, Khuda Gawah, Roop Ki Rani
Choron Ka Raja, Gumrah and Khilaaf.
1994 proved a watershed year
for Krishnamurthy's career: music director R.D.
Burman staged a dazzling comeback with 1942: A Love
Story, for which he used Krishnamurthy as the only
soundtrack vocalist; and Viju Shah recorded the
smash duet "Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast"
for the film Mohra with her. By the time the dust
settled, Krishnamurthy was arguably the most popular
contemporary female vocalist in Indian film, landing
several monster hits from 1942 (including "Kyon
Naye Lag Rahe" and "Rimjhim Rimjhim")
and winning several awards, including the coveted
Filmfare award for Best Female Playback Singer for the song "Pyaar
Hua Chupke Se".
