Notebook is a 2019 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama film directed by Nitin Kakkar and produced by Salman Khan under Salman Khan Films and Murad Khetani and Ashwin Varde under Cine1 Studios. A remake of the 2014 Thai film The Teacher's Diary by Nithiwat Tharathorn, it stars debutantes Zaheer Iqbal and Pranutan Bahl, daughter of actor Mohnish Bahl.[5] Notebook tells the story of a young retired army officer who joins his father's school as a teacher to save it from closure, and falls in love with the previous teacher after reading through her memorabilia left behind in the drawers.[6] The film was released on 29 March 2019 and received mixed response from critics with praises for leads performances.[7][8][9]

The Thai film is based on a real life teacher of a houseboat school, Ban Ko Allocated School (Ruen Phae Branch), on the Ping River at the Bhumibol Dam in Mae Ping National Park in Li district, Lamphun province. The motif of a left behind diary in that film is based on an incident from the marriage of a producer's friend.[10][11][12][13]
