Critical response
NDTV rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars, and said "Fireflies is an imperfect film about flawed characters who disguise their spiritual ennui in tailored postures of sophistication. It's not a great film. But it's sincere and a largely well-crafted piece of cinema about fractured lives frozen in compromised relationships".[1] Indian Express rated the film 1.5 out of 5 stars.[2] Sweta Kaushal of Hindustan Times gave the film 1.5 out of 5 stars taking on originality, said that "The well-meaning plot of Fireflies is totally wasted for a singular lack of imagination and the over-dependence on stereotypes. Skip this one, unless you are looking for a depressing movie that only confirms to all norms of cliches in the name of an Indie film".[3] Renuka Vyavahare of The Times of India gave the film 2.1 out of 5 stars.
