Beta (Hindi: बेटा, Urdu: بیٹا, translation: Son) is a 1992 Bollywood movie directed by Indra Kumar. The film featured the pairing of Madhuri Dixit with Anil Kapoor, who were previously paired in Tezaab and Parinda. The film is perhaps best remembered for the hit song "Dhak Dhak Karne Laga", which earned Dixit her nickname as the "Dhak-Dhak Girl" ("dhak-dhak" = heartbeat). Beta won four Filmfare Awards including Best Actress (Dixit), Best Actor (Kapoor), Best Playback Singer (Anuradha Paudwal for "Dhak Dhak Karne Laga") and Best Supporting Actress Aruna Irani. It's a remake of Tamil blockbuster Enga Chinna Raasa directed by Bhagyaraj. The song "Dhak Dhak Karne Laga" was actually recycled from "Abbeni Tiyyani dabba" composed by Illayaraja from Telugu blockbuster Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari, which was dubbed and released in hindi as "Aadmi Aur Apsara".
