In India and Canada, audiences were amazed by the caliber of independent cinema raised in Footprints and couldn’t stop cheering the filmmaker.

In FOOTPRINTS, the National Award-winning filmmaker Javid Banday narrates a story about five college friends who now moved away from each other and reunited after three years. Mohsin, the protagonist, loves to capture the natural Kashmir beauty through his still camera as he will lose his eyesight in the next six months, which is unknown to his non-Kashmiri friends. So, he wishes to have a memorable time with his friends and invites them to Kashmir. Despite resentment of the families of the non-Kashmiri friends, they make it happen. But, when the friends begin their journey on a charming expedition, it turns out to be mysterious and odious.
