The OTT space is known for its edgy and experimental content, but Zee5’s new show ‘Fireflies: Parth Aur Jugnu’ brings a breath of fresh air with its fantasy theme. Set against the backdrop of a real Indian family facing common problems, the show follows the story of a dispirited 14-year-old boy named Parth who meets a mystical kid named Jugnu from the haunted forests of Bheem Mukhteshwar. Together, they embark on an action-packed adventure of self-discovery, laughter, and live-action in a never-seen-before avatar.
The Plot

The Indian family story makes the show relatable not just for young adults, but for all ages. The show takes the audience on a journey to their childhood memories of ‘bachpan ki kahaniyan’ sessions with grandparents. The show stands out artistically in its use of folklore to give a message to the community without being preachy. The VFX highlights the beauty of the hills of Himachal as the show showcases the most picturesque locales of Mukhteshwar.
