Fireflys post sound is the first sound studio in India of its kind that was solely dedicated to sound design in films. The first hand experience of sound practise in the most aggressive/ competitive of cinema cultures raised a few questions for a group of sound recordists and filmmakers.

How could they influence more time and attention for sound work? How could the working environment be improved for sound recordists on location and studio? How could the technologies be demystified for the filmmaker to explore creative possibilities in sound? Fireflys decided to explore these questions and redefine the conventional studio model.

Their studio opened its doors to day light - sound and light worked together. It recognised the importance of the work space for the people who create the work and the work itself. Fireflys post sound demystified the technological barriers and jargon and encouraged filmmakers to explore/play with sound and its creative possibilities. They supported this with a rigorous attention to detail in the execution and realisation facilitated by skilled and experienced sound designers, sound editors and sound engineers. This enhanced the production value of the film and meeting the international specification and standards for distribution and opened up further channels for distribution and exhibition. PM Satheesh won the National Award on Kumar Talkies for best sound recording & design in 1999. It was Fireflys’ first project. As such it was a turning point not just in the nascent life of the studio but in the evolution of sound and sound design in India.

Fireflys revolutionized sound in India. When more and more filmmakers and producers began to see and hear the difference a nuanced sound track could make to their films everything changed. Seven day post sound work often became 40 - 60 days post sound work and Fireflys quickly set the industry standard.

In the last decade Fireflys have worked on such diverse films as Vishal Bharadwaj's Omkaara; Aparna Sen's 15 Park Avenue; Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Sawwariyaa and Black; Ketan Mehta’s Mangal Pandey; Dev Benegal’s English August (redesign) and Anand Patwardanan’s Father Son and Holy War.
