Beta (Hindi: बेटा, Urdu: بیٹا, translation: Son) is a 1992 Hindi movie directed by Indra Kumar. The film featured the pairing of Madhuri Dixit with Anil Kapoor in lead roles. This film was a remake of Sandalwood Movie Mallammana Pavada (1969), starring Rajkumar, B. Saroja Devi and Tamil film Enga Chinna Rasa (1987), directed by K. Bhagyaraj. Along with Beta, the film was remade to Telugu as Abbaigaru, again to Kannada as Annayya, starring Ravichandran and Madhubala.. The film is perhaps best remembered for the hit song "Dhak Dhak Karne Laga", which earned Madhuri Dixit her nickname as the "Dhak-Dhak Girl" ("dhak-dhak" = heartbeat).
