Once complete, the filmmakers plan to make the film accessible on several VR platforms

We Are standing right below a rundown building on the outskirts of Virar’s Bhatte Wadi, surrounded by a tilled patch of land on one side and mango trees on the other, when director Ashley Rodrigues hands us his VR headset. "Watch the film," he prods. As we rest the device on our forehead, and narrow our eyes to watch what’s playing in front of us, we unexpectedly find ourselves on shaky ground. One minute we are on a muddied plot in Virar and now, suddenly in the film, transported to a swimming pool in south India. On Rodrigues’ instruction, I step inside the pool, only to find myself surrounded by water on all sides. Moments later, in the film, someone calls out to me, asking if I’d like to try a lobster dish. Again, we swerve, and see a waiter place the seafood on a wooden table and leave.

When we are done watching this visual spectacle, Rodrigues says, "Now, imagine if this were a horror film, and there was a ghost calling out to you." We try to visualise the experience — the eerie surrounding with the ‘bhoot bangla’ in the backdrop only inflating our fantastical imagination. The thought is overwhelming, we say.
