Thursday, January 1, 1970 • Malayalam Comments

Roshan Andrews is one director who wants to stand apart from the crowd with his different attempts on cinema. After the super hit movie ''Udhayaananu Thaaram'' Roshan definitely had the dates of every star of the field, but he decided to stay away and make one with an entire caste of fresher.

This time with the help of the biggest banner of Malayalam, Grihalakshmi Productions, Roshan is planning to bring forth the problems faced by children during adolescence in his new film titled "Notebook". The film tells the story of few friends- Suraj, Pooja, Sree Devi, Saira, Firoz and Anna who are students of the twelfth standard. They have been studying together from the seventh standard onwards. Young and energetic, they are full of teenage pranks and are set to celebrate their age of freedom. They are also involved in every   issue that relate to students, whether it is examinations, issues with teachers or between students, or romantic affairs.

In the passing of events Suraj and Pooja falls into infatuations for a period. But Pooja finds a better option and dislodge Suraj from the relation as times pass by. Suraj WHO IS BADLY HURT FALLS PREY TO disappointments and depression. The plot follows how his friends manage to pull out their friend from stages of delusion and seclusion.

But very soon they realize that there are issues that cannot be sorted out by them. The underlying message is all about teenage years which are a very sensitive period in a youth's life, when parental guidance is absolutely necessary.

The host of new faces appearing in the film were selected from more than 5000 aspirants and put through one month of rigorous training before facing the camera. The prestigious Lawrence School at Love Dale in Ootty forms the major backdrop for the film, shot by paying a whooping 1.5 lakh per day as rental of the locales. The film is the biggest budgeted one with a cast comprising entirely of new comers. The film also introduces a new Music director Majo who also plays an important role in the film. The film is now planned as one of the first releases of the New Year.
