MAHAXR
Immersive Cinema from the Indian Subcontinent
Maha XR creates immersive cinema rooted in the Indian subcontinent's philosophical and visual traditions. Our work uses extended reality to explore consciousness, landscape, and the body — inviting audiences not merely to watch, but to inhabit.
Project 01
Responses in the Living and Non-Living
Immersive 180° Film · Feature Film
Set against the backdrop of India’s national awakening during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Responses in the Living and Non-Living chronicles the extraordinary life and pioneering scientific works of Jagdish Chandra Bose, India’s first modern scientist. Driven by a unique scientific vision, Bose challenges the Western approach, embracing the wisdom of the ancient Hindu Upanishads and the Vedas. He perceives nature not merely as a physical phenomenon but as a living spirit holding the key to uncovering the essential Truth of Life.

Project 02
Purush Aur Prakriti
XR Experience
Rooted in India’s ancient Samkhya philosophy, the film traces the ascent of Purusha (unmanifest) from the stillness of pure consciousness into the overwhelming sensory world of Prakriti (manifest). The film follows Purusha’s ascent through the three Gunas, experienced through Kathak dance, ancient temples and Pahari miniature paintings across the sacred Himalayan landscape, all rendered in 180° stereoscopic immersion. The medium becomes the message: the viewer is enveloped by the same grand illusion the film seeks to transcend.

“In aesthetic experience, the heart rests in its own luminosity — free from the veil of ordinary perception.”
