Jugni (Firefly) is the beat of the soul, the free-flying spirit. Jugni is Vibhavari or 'Vibs', a music director, working on her first big break in the Hindi film industry. When work and home affairs with her live-in boyfriend Sid (Samir Sharma) get rough, Vibs hits the road with a glint of hope to find music. The journey takes her to a village in Punjab in the search of a Bibi Saroop (Sadhana Singh), whose voice holds the promise that Vibs is searching for. As fate would have it, it turns out that Mastana, Bibi's son and a proficient singer himself, is the voice and man who winds his way into Vibs' heart. From here on, Jugni is about striking balances, making tough decisions while trying to soften the blows, and dealing with the dramatic turns and unpredictability of life. It is about finding the place one can call home; the home of the heart, where the firefly is at her brightest.
The film's soundtrack comprises 12 songs and 11 songs was composed by Clinton Cerejo and the other one was composed by Kaashif sung by the Oscar winner A. R. Rahman.
