Story: An ex-army officer, Kabir (Zaheer Iqbal), becomes a teacher in Kashmir in a school that is in a miserable condition. Things take a turn when Kabir finds a notebook left behind by the previous year's teacher Firdaus (Pranutan Bahl).
Review: In light of Thai film A Teacher's Diary, Notebook recounts to the tale of Kabir Kaul (Zaheer Iqbal), an ex-armed force officer who chooses to join his father's school as an instructor. With no expert preparing in educating, he thinks that it’s difficult to manage the children, and that is the point at which Firdaus' (Pranutan Bahl) journal acts the hero. A journal, which is deserted by the past instructor in the work area cabinet.
The journal opens the way to Firdaus' story, and Kabir can't quit falling irreversibly enamored with her.
Nitin Kakkar of Filmistan acclaim paints the canvas of an uncommon romantic tale with shades of affection, giggling of children and the magnificence of Kashmir. An extraordinary notice to chief of photography Manoj Kumar Khatoi for making each casing of Notebook nothing not exactly a depiction. From the shades of Chinar to the tranquility of the lake to the hints of the shikara, Khatoi figures out how to typify the supernatural magnificence of Kashmir in each scene.
Be that as it may, Notebook is imperfect as well. The two-hour sentimental film is a simple film with no dramatization. Note pad has a fascinating idea, which of two individuals experiencing passionate feelings for without meeting one another, yet the film neglects to move past that one-line plot. When the film gets pace, the end credits move, making it a touch baffling. In the middle of the romantic tale, Kakkar prudently attempts to remark on the present circumstance in the Valley. Test this: When Kabir asks a shikara driver, "Yaha organize nahi aata?" He gets the answer, "Yaha arrange hota hai poke mausam aur mahaul saaf ho. Jo kam hey hota hai. (The system here arrives when the climate and air are clear. What's more, that infrequently occurs.)"
Kakkar presents two new faces with Notebook - Zaheer Iqbal and Pranutan Bahl. Furthermore, the tenderfoots don't disillusion with their dispatch vehicle. Keeping with the straightforwardness of their characters, Pranutan and Zaheer draw out the honesty they are required to. With no scenes with one another till the very end, the science is especially absent, yet they end up setting up a decent show with their individual offer of screen time. Pranutan and Zaheer are setting down deep roots.
In the event that you are searching for some old-world sentiment this end of the week, Notebook is unquestionably a suggested watch for you.
