Namrata Joshi The Hindu 04/01/2019
A breathtaking setting and some adorable children can't rescue the flavourless romance that is Notebook. Go to Full Review
Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 04/01/2019
1.5/5
Militants and insurgency and the contentious presence of the armed forces are kept at a minimum, shown in only scant, sanitized glimpses. Go to Full Review

1/5
Cinematographer Manoj Kumar Khatoi's camerawork captures lush, stunning Kashmiri vistas... but it cannot pull Notebook out of the senseless narrative swamp that it wades through. Go to Full Review
Rahul Desai Film Companion 04/01/2019
1.5/5
The story might have even been a cutesy take on loneliness and virtual companionship if the writing had bothered to focus on the psychology of the protagonists. Go to Full Review

Notebook has an unremarkable lead pair, an underwhelming dull love story... Go to Full Review

It is a pity that Kakkar's heavy-handed approach weighs down what could have been a light, easy watch. Go to Full Review

Thank you. See more 10/14/2019 Underrated feel good movie See more 09/24/2019 The love story........ inside the notebook See more Mik B 09/12/2019 I really adored this movie for the simplicity yet the effectiveness it protrude though it's storytelling! The exotic locations, masterfully crafted cinematography along with a fitted sound score behind ; it was a pleasurable experience. The lead actors played their respective parts really well. The child actors too were so cute and shown glimpses of talent through their expressions and dialogues! The character build up was pretty decent, although it had shortcomings. Some scenes including a Fight scene wasn't necessary in my opinion. I love how the makers cleverly implemented some sensitive issues into this love story without being too disruptive! The highlight of this film should be it's simple yet so likeable love story that had no Vulgarity. In the midst of modern generation of Cinema. We are used to experience so many Kissings, Smooches, Sex Scenes in basically every romantic story out there. But it chose a different path. I'm so glad to see that a Love story can be told without any sort of physical intimacy too. The purity touched my heart. A must watch movie for all of those who wants to experience a Different approach In this Genre. See more 06/27/2019 Simple, sweet and beautiful. Such a jem. The most underrated indian film of this year. See more Read all reviews
