‘Notebook’ Box-Office Report: Zaheer Iqbal and Pranutan Bahl starrer fails to make a mark on its opening day

It’s so sad when good films fail to do well at the box-office. This week’s release ‘Notebook’ has tanked at the box-office, and it remains to be seen if word of mouth can help rescue it.

According to a Times Of India report, the film managed to collect just Rs 70 lakh on its opening day. It is to be noted that a lot of critics have liked the movie. Also, it is backed by none other than Salman Khan.

In my review of the film, I wrote, “In a way, the movie feels like an extremely interesting extended diary entry of two people. Nitin weaves those entries into a believable plot and sets it against the picturesque backdrop of Kashmir. The result is a film that will certainly hit home with the die-hard romantics. The newcomers – Pranutan and Zaheer – are extremely good, but you feel that they don’t really have a difficult job at hand. Instead of Zaheer, the likes of Sushant Singh Rajput, Varun Dhawanor any other decent actor could have done an equally adept (if not better) job. This is to say that they are good, but they lack the X-Factor that we see in actors like Ranveer Singh (‘Band Baaja Baaraat’).”
