[2] Short Circuit received generally positive review from critics upon its release and praised for its direction, plot, VFX and performances.

Samay falls in love with Seema (Kinjal Rajpriya), who is a news anchor at Zee 24 Kalak.

She interviews a scientist, Dr. Parthsarthi (Utkarsh Mazumdar), who is doing some experiments on creating a portable wormhole inside his lab.

That night, Samay gets drunk with his friend, Bhopa (Smit Pandya) and both of them see Aurora Borealis in the sky.

[3] Shruti Jambhekar of The Times of India rated the film 3.5 out of 5, praising its direction, VFX, story line, editing and performances.

She said; "We have to give it to the production house, director Faisal Hashmi and the entire team for attempting a sci-fi thriller in Gujarati.

Considering it’s the first time this genre has been attempted, it’s a pretty decent effort-good VFX, a grand set-up and an interesting (although predictable) story line.

Faisal Hashmi deserves a pat on the back for showing considerable improvement as a filmmaker in his second movie.
