What happens

Balak-Palak (BP; transl.  Children-Parents) is a 2013 Indian Marathi-language comedy drama film on the topic of sex education. The film was directed by Ravi Jadhav and produced by Riteish Deshmukh, Uttung Thakur, and Ravi Jadhav. This is the first film produced by actor Riteish Deshmukh. The story was written by Ganesh Pandit and Amber Hadap. Balak Palak was shot by Mahesh Limaye. The initials "BP" formed by the title of the film also make a secondary reference to a blue picture or low-quality pornographic videos that were available on videotape in the 1980s in South Asia. The film deals with the topic of sex education of adolescents and is rated UA (Parental Guidance). With the positive reviews the film received, Deshmukh planned to make a Hindi remake of the film. This film was supposed to be remade into Tamil and Telugu by director Srikanth Velagaleti. The movie was the inspiration for Malayalam film Swarnamalsyangal, directed by quizmaster G. S. Pradeep. The film was released with English subtitles, which was done by Shivkumar Parthasarathy. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
