Trivia
The producer and director of Beti No. 1 had made a film titled CHIRAAG starring Rishi Kapoor. The film lay completed and unreleased due to the lack of distributors/buyers. The producer then made a very bold and daring decision. The producer remade the whole entire film taking Govinda in the lead titling it BETI NO. 1. The director only re shot mostly Rishi Kapoor and Mohini's scenes with Govinda and Rambha. He left the other scenes as is.

Beti no. 1 is an old wine in a new bottle

The story of Beti No.1 deals with how our society has given women a very inferior position. How a daughter is still looked down upon by many even in today's time in India. How people still desire sons over daughters in our society. It is the story of Durga Devi (Aruna Irani) whose hen-pecked husband Dashrath Bhatnagar is a gharjamai. The couple has three sons, Ram (Ashok Saraf), Laxman (Laxmikant Berde) and Bharat (Govinda). Other main characters of the movie Priya (Rambha) wife of Bharat, Mulayam Chand ( Jhonny lever) and his wife Hema. Though the story is mediocre, acting by Prem Chopra, Aruna Irani, Govinda and Jhonny lever is something to watch out for. Music is mediocre and often disturbs the smooth flow of the story. Watch this movie only if you have ample of spare time and love for old Bollywood style movies.
