Hi Sayantan,

It's a nice touch in a fireworks shot to get the silhouetted crowd watching the display. It's more effective, however, if there are more realistic outlines of people. The fireworks bursts you've shown have a few wiggles in them. That indicates that either something was not steady on the tripod, or someone bumped the camera. The bursts are low, and there's quite a bit of black space. I might have cropped the shot lower to fill out the frame better. I noticed that you used a relatively large aperture opening. A smaller one (larger f number) would probably have been more effective. That would have enabled you to use a longer shutter speed, which would have caught more action. I know that it's difficult when you're in position to take some fireworks photos, but, in the future, if there's any way that you could improve your vantage point, you should try to do that.
