Notebook is a 2006 Indian Malayalam-language coming-of-age drama film directed by Rosshan Andrrews and written by Bobby-Sanjay.

The film stars Maria Roy, Roma Asrani and Parvathy Thiruvothu while Skanda Ashok and Suresh Gopi play supporting roles.

The story begins with a New Year's Eve celebration at Lord's Academy in Ooty while three girls - Saira Elizabeth, Pooja Krishna, and Sridevi Swaminathan - plant a sapling to symbolize their friendship even after they graduate from school.

Three years later, the trio is in 11th grade, and the sapling they planted has grown into a tree Venus (named after the goddess of love).

During an excursion to Goa, Sreedevi and Sooraj make love, and eventually, she becomes pregnant, much to the shock of Sarah and Pooja and herself.

The next day, the two girls are summoned to the principal's office, where the police have arrived, and the gynecologist, brought as a part of the inquiry, identifies Saira.

Pooja loses her mental stability, unable to take the pressure of having lost both her best friends — one to death and the other to her betrayal.

Saira's father, Brigadier Alexander, arrives and takes her to New Delhi for further studies, inspiring her to move on with life.

Reviewer from Sify, while complementing Andrews for taking up a taboo subject and casting newcomers, found the film unimpressive as a whole, and gave the verdict as "Ho-hum, just average".

"[4] The OneIndia.com review, though at first comments that "[t]here are times when you might feel as if the director is very obsessed with periods and pregnancy than the story itself", later adds that "the film's real theme seems to be something very relevant in today's changing times—the need for a strong family and support base.

The reviewer felt that "[t]he single biggest handicap this film suffers from is the fact that none of the characters are real, believable."

[4][5] In an interview, the director revealed that "[s]even of Malayalam's best-known directors—Priyadarshan, Sathyan Anthikad, Sibi Malayil, Joshy, Jayaraj, Lal Jose and I. V. Sasi—saw the film and personally called [him] up and said it was not only good but was touching.
