Birds,Bees and More

Marking actor Riteish Deshmukh’s debut as producer,the film is based on the importance of sex education and focuses on how very few parents are keen to discuss the sensitive subject with their kids. “Teen queries on this subject are often dealt with a slap or a shout,” says Jadhav. The narrative revolves around four teenage friends (Avya,Bhagya,Chiu and Dolly),who overhear that their friend Jyotitai,a resident of their colony,has shifted out because she brought disgrace to her family. Having received unsatisfactory explanations from their parents for Jyotitai’s exit,the four take up the challenge of finding out what her disgraceful act was. They end up befriending a schoolmate Vishu,who is older than them. He introduces them to the world of blue movies and believes that one has to read,watch and if need be perform,to understand the true meaning of life (read sex).

Jadhav is known to extensively study the subjects of his films. As a result of his efforts,his first two films,Balgandharva and Natarang,won critical acclaim,box-office success as well as national awards. His research for Balak Palak was more academic. “I went to schools,met principals and teachers. I also met a lot of parents and tried to understand the psyche of a teenager before I got down to writing the script,” says Jadhav,adding that his biggest concern was to make the film entertaining for audiences. “I wanted to string the film together with humour,which,I believe,is the only way to reach out to the youth,” says he.
