बालक पालक

One of the best movies in Indian Cinema, and I would say a revelation in itself if one is following Marathi Cinema from 1980s or so.

The canvas of the movie which relates to every Maharashtrian lower middle class family. That Denying ignorant attitude of parents, in those days, where forget Sex, even Love was taboo is perfectly portrayed in the movie.

One cannot deny that the movie gets a bit overboard with the character living in the slums and could have been played in a more subtle way. But that would have removed the Fun part of the movie.

Favorite : That Background song Susangati Sada and the Sanpada Scene. The look and feel, and I am not just talking about the cinematography but the overall heart of the movie is in the right place.

Must watch.

Ravi Jadhav'sd Marathi BP or BALAK PALAK (the long title is a sort of slang, and BP stands for Blueprints, i.e. dirty movies) is to the contrary fairly understated, about a childhood discovery of sex through adult paperback novels and 'A' or more-rated films. The five children involved are not clones of one another, and it turns out that their 'uncle' knows more about teaching them sex education than do their parents. A charming comedy of the MURMUR OF THE HEART variety, but including girls, it begins and ends with one of the couples grownup and trying to figure out how to deal with the sex education of their son: the temptations today are greater -- not just videotapes and illustrated paperbacks, but the internet and beyond.

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.

Fantastic movie! One can watch with the whole family...1st half is full blown laughter and 'excitement' and second half is equally serious.

When we were school kids (which was just 7 years ago), schools used to arrange special shows of movies like 'Veer Savarkar' for us. I think time has come that BP be shown to school-kids at concessional rates.

But there's a flip side to this. Real 'innocent' kids (hard to find these days) will get idea of how to get 'things', which is not what the movie aims to show.

Critital mentions-

Excellent handling by the director and outstanding cinematography. It's only the second movie after Vicky Donor that has lived up to the standard expected when you're handling such sensitive subjects

Enjoyable, thoroughly! Don't miss this one

Brilliant stuff Ravi Jadhav..Congratulations to the complete cast and crew of this movie. Thank You Ritesh D and Uttung Thakur for giving us a delightful, educational and wholesome entertainer. The direction is flawless as usual from Ravi Jadhav and the Music by Vishal Shekhar is awesome, specially Haravli Pakhre and Kalla very well pictured and choreographed. This is by far the best movie of the year so far and one of the best Marathi movies in the recent past. A must watch for each and every individual. Ritesh, please continue producing such good movies. I love the character Vishnu and Cheu they are simply the best. Would love to see this movie made in Hindi and other languages since this is a universal subject. All the best and god bless.
