Storyline:
Jugni (Firefly) is the beat of the soul, the free-flying spirit. Jugni
is Vibhavari or Vibs (Sugandha Garg). Vibs is 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) hit a high tide,
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. But
as the twist of fate would have it, Mastana (Siddhant Behl), 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
studied dramatic turns and unpredictabilities of life and finding the
place which one can call home; home of the heart, where the firefly is
at her brightest.
