Balak Palak

It's a story of four teenagers, a Chandal Choukadi, who are innocent and enjoy their day to day life. Everything is fine until a girl was thrown out of her house for a 'misdeed'. Then their search begins what was her misdeed and why it is a misdeed.

During this journey they take help of a guy who is well known for having the knowledge of such misdeeds. This guy becomes their teacher. He tells them about the misdeeds and with that the background of it. Right from the beginning!

This movie forces us to think about the current situation of sex education in India, where teenagers hardly get pure sex education and the curiosity of it forces them to watch porn movies where this purity gets adulterated.

Though it is said the movie can be seen with the parents, it's not true. There will always be some kind of awkwardness if teenagers watch this movie with their parents. I will suggests the parents and teenagers should watch this movie not together but separately. This will give them a space to think about where they find themselves in this movie. Otherwise this space will be taken by the awkwardness.

A nice movie to watch. Totally worth!

Honestly, I cannot recollect talking to my parents about my my first kiss or my.... Moreover I don't remember the root cause of its instigation. Being born in the 90s, I can so much relate to this great endeavor, BP!

Riteish Deshmukh has sealed his place in Marathi cinema with BP which boats off a wonderful cast, new story & an even amazing plot. All the realities based on how kids (aged 13 in the 80s & 11 in this YOLO gen) get so inquisitive to learn about sex, pleasure & porn. The detailing (with absolute perfection & no anachronism) of both the generations is very fine. The impulses, conversations, dialogs & monikers are so pure, no stone has been left unturned to create a movie worth watching and which deals with a sensitive topic like sex education. Also, keeping the obscenity at bay & driving straight to the point with no masochism, Ravi Jadhav has done a terrific job.

The child actors are great with special mention to Prathamesh Parab; Kishore Kadam is genuine; Sai Tamhankar is voluptuous & perfect as the neighborhood bombshell while the four lead artistes are true in their characters, besotted with reel-life chemistry & wonderful in their demeanor. Music is good (although some tunes were plagiarized). The screenplay is entertaining & I totally enjoyed it, not only as a cinema but also as a good message-sender.

BOTTOM LINE: Every child should watch this movie with both his/her parents. Parents should see this as a great & non-vulgar weapon to sex education. You cannot have such a beautiful guide. 9/10!

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

Language: Mediocre | Sex: No; Implications: Yes | Nudity: No; Cleavage, Erotica: Yes (Mild) | Porn: Mediocre (Only Innocuous Images & Sound) | Violence: No | Gore: No | Smoking, Alcohol or Drugs: NO

A superb movie with a superb story and dialogues. Dedicated to all teenagers but made specially for parents. Specially Chiu's(Bhagyashree Shankpal's) smile will make you die.

Balak Palak provides the space for adolescent adventures but has enough moral fibre to keep the adventures from going haywire. BP is a message movie about the importance of talking to children about the birds-and-bees business that doubles up as a nostalgia piece about a community-based way of life in which experimentation and edification share an address. The Director stays away from double entendre and keeps the movie firmly on a UA-rated course despite the boldness of the subject. The young actors perform their roles admirably, and betray no awkwardness about being avid consumers of adult material.

The movies is too good..the Acting,Dialauge,camera and Music is excellent. All actors done fantastic job but the actor who plays Character of 'Vishu' is fantastic. Vishal-Shekhar rocks the Stage. Overall Thanks Ravi and all team for this wonderful experience It is Loads of laughter.....a good story....awesome cinematography.... A complete entertainer....awesome acting by all young actors.... nice direction by ravi and good production values by ritesh deshmukh......hats off to team BP..... going to be blockbuster....... The music played from Vishal-Shekhar is Awesome. They even didn't speak Marathi but they sing Marathi songs very well, the Music you definitely Love.

Nicely portrayed the delicate issue of advising today's parent handle issues related to sex education in a more transparent way in order to help their children distinguish between Lust and Love. This is a must watch movie for all parents.

The dram entangles typical middle class families of India who are busy in achieving the comfort for their children; but at the same time they are not able to spend time with them. Kids who have many question related to life (read SEX) falls prey to company that will lead them to an unguided path. All four kids portrayed their character beautifully. Their innocence and curiosity to know what their elder sister (neighbor) has done so as to bring disgrace to their family. Their path to find the answer and some awkward situation with their parents when asked very sensitive question are fun filled. A must watch for all....
