What happens

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. Notebook tells the story of a young retired army officer in Jammu and Kashmir 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. The film was released on 29 March 2019 and received mixed response from critics with praises for leads performances. 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. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
