The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

What happens

మహాకవి పోతన జీవితగాధ ఇతివృత్తంగా 1942లో వచ్చిన సినిమా ను మళ్ళీ 1966లో తీశారు. ఈ చిత్రం 1966, ఆగస్టు 5న విడుదలైంది. 1942లో పోతనగా నటించిన చిత్తూరు నాగయ్య ఈ సినిమాలో ఒక చిన్నపాత్ర (వ్యాసమహర్షిగా)పోషించడం విశేషం. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
