Khan Mastana sang with Rafi

Harikrishan Giri Goswami rechristened himself Manoj Kumar after watching his idol Dilip Kumar’s 1949 film Shabnam, in which his character’s name was Manoj.

The duo starred in two separate films that shared a title – Shaheed.

While the Dilip Kumar-starrer released in 1948, the Manoj Kumar-starrer released in 1965.

My collection contained just one song from the former – Watan Ki Raah Mein.

Khan Mastana was joined behind the microphone for it by Mohammed Rafi.

The song – which was three minutes and 22 seconds long – was written by Raja Mehdi Ali Khan, and composed by Ghulam Haider.
