Notebook movie review: Zaheer Iqbal and Pranutan Bahl's fresh chemistry makes this film a breezy watch
Here's our review of Zaheer Iqbal and Pranutan Bahl starrer Notebook
Lets make it clear, Zaheer Iqbal and Pranutan Bahl's Notebook has absolutely nothing to do with the Ryan Reynold's classic of the same name. If at all it shares anything then it's the romantic genre. Produced by Salman Khan, Ashwin Varde and Murad Khetani, Notebook is an attempt to make a 'feel good' love story with two fresh faces. Pranutan holds the weight of being a descendant of an illustrious acting family - she's the granddaughter of Nutan and her father Mohnish Behl has done multiple films (most of the popular ones with Salman) in the 90s. Zaheer on the other hand is an outsider with no inkling to acting. The fact that Notebook has two new faces does help in giving the narrative a fresh approach.
Verdict
Notebook works well with its length. It doesn't meander and wraps up in its expected length. Also the film is light and the addition of kids gives it several feel good moments. Notebook makes for good viewing thanks to the freshness of its lead pair Zaheer Iqbal and Pranutan Bahl. Also watch it for the adorable kids.
