Fantasy writing has an unbeatable charm to it. It allows the audience to escape their reality and this show ends up being the perfect getaway for anybody needing that. But beneath the larger-than-life fantasies that dazzle the viewers, the show at its very core has a meaningful story, complete with relatable characters, their emotions, challenges, their victories and defeats.

It takes you the world of ‘bachpan ki kahaniyan (childhood stories)’ sessions with our grandparents and elders. The show stands out in artistically as it uses folklore to give a message to the community without making the content preachy and in your face. Adding to this, the VFX has added to the beauty of the hills of Himachal as the show showcases the most picturesque locales of Mukhteshwar.

Meet Mukhi as Parth and Aekam Binjwe as Jugnu will make you fall in love with them. Both of them have flawlessly portrayed into their characters. Madhoo Shah's character of Nani, who gives life lessons of good vs evil, will definitely become a favourite amongst the kids.
All in all, Fireflies: Parth Aur Jugnu brings a perfect amalgamation of fantasy, magic and mythology for the whole family. It is to be enjoyed like a family treat and delivers on its promise of being a fun ride!
