Balak-Palak (meaning Children-Parents) (BP) is a 2013 Marathi language comedy-drama film on the topic of sex education. The film is directed by Ravi Jadhav and produced by Riteish Deshmukh, Uttung Thakur and Ravi Jadhav. This is the first film produced by actor Riteish Deshmukh.[citation needed] The story was written by Ganesh Pandit and Amber Hadap. Balak Palak was shot by Mahesh Limaye.

The initials formed by the title of the film (BP) 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.[citation needed] The film deals with the topic of sex education of adolescents [3] and is rated UA (Parental Guidance).[4] With the positive reviews the film received, Deshmukh plans to make a Hindi language remake of the film.[5][6] This film is being made into Tamil and Telugu by Director Srikanth Velagaleti. Uttung Thakur will co-produce the remake with Mohan S. Devanga of Kangaroo Motion Pictures.[7]
