Virtual Reality for mythological movies is on the rise and the latest one to take advantage of this immersive movie watching experience is “Mata Vaishno Devi ki Kahani”. Developed by VROOZY Pictures, the entire movie is hosted in the Virtual Reality format and is currently available to watch in various locations in Katra, Jammu & Kashmir, as well as on the high-speed Vande Bharat Express train that runs from New Delhi to Katra.

The “Mata Vaishno Devi ki Kahani” movie ends up being the first mythological movie shot in VR that is made in India. The makers say that the entire story of Mata Vaishno Devi is being told in the immersive format where pilgrims become a part of the full Vaishno Devi experience.

India's first mythological VR movie

The reason behind making a VR movie has to do with the fact that the modern generation does not know about the story of Vaishno Devi. Vroozy has conducted a survey that reveals that “despite 1 Crore people visiting the shrine every year, not even 5 percent of the devotees know the story of Mata Vaishno Devi in its entirety.”

“Right from why she was sent on Earth to the important role Lord Ram played in her life while he was searching for Mata Sita, here are all your answers. You will also find out the transfixing tale of why Bhairon Nath is still worshipped, even though Mata Vaishno Devi had to eventually kill him. Importantly, here is your answer to why Mata transformed into the 3 pindalinis that the pilgrims worship today. Enough and more pilgrims have vouched for the surreal experience offered by the film with its use of VR technology and the fulfilling “darshan” they have had at the shrine, after witnessing Mata Vaishno Devi's journey, literally up close.”

Vroozy Pictures says that it has also tied up with the Indian Railways to showcase its movies to passengers on the Delhi-Katra Vande Bharat Express. Additionally, many famous hotels of Katra such as Best Western, Clarks, White Hotel and more.

Vroozy says that it wants to achieve the same level of fandom from the young generation as the western superhero movies made by MARVEL and DC.
