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).
Beta won four Filmfare Awards including Best Actor (Kapoor), Best Actress (Dixit), Best Playback Singer (Anuradha Paudwal for "Dhak Dhak Karne Laga") and Best Supporting Actress (Aruna Irani). The film was declared a blockbuster and was the highest grossing film of 1992.
Beta is the story of Raju (Anil Kapoor), the only child of a widowed multi millionaire. Raju's father can provide him anything he wants but Raju's only desire is to have a mother's love. In order to please Raju, his father gets married to Laxmi (Aruna Irani), thinking that she will take care of Raju. Raju becomes completely devoted to his stepmother, doing whatever she wishes. Raju's stepmother keeps Raju uneducated, under the pretext that education would get her son a job working for other people, while she wants her son to be self employed. As Raju grows up, Raju's father is gradually isolated from the family and locked in a dark room of the family home, being labelled as mentally unstable.

Plot: Liar's Pendulum is set in the fictitious city of Johanna in the near future. The main character, Alaric Almalquilar (a.k.a. Johnny Joe Blue), is a charismatic, street-smart ex-cop-turned-private Investigator/bounty hunter. Dauntless and of dubious nobility, he is on the run from pernicious forces bent on stopping him from getting his hands on top-secret, stolen research technology that everybody wants and only he knows where to acquire. Alaric's mission is to get the technology safely underground to a benevolent order of scientists before it falls into the wrong hands. However, as he gets closer to acquiring the top-secret technology and his pursuers close in, we learn that there is a lot more to Alaric's story than meets the eye...
