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.

What happens
Kulvadhu (transl. Daughter-in-Law) is a 1937 Indian Hindi-language social family drama film directed by Sarvottam Badami. Made under the Sagar Movietone banner it had music by Pransukh M Nayak, and the film starred Motilal, Sabita Devi, Gulzar and Pesi Patel. As a publicity gimmick, Badami asked for reviews written in Marathi, English, Hindi and Gujarati languages, offering cash prizes of Rs. 250, Rs. 150 and Rs. 100 for the best review. The ploy worked sending audiences to the theatre to see the film. Motilal's romantic role in the film was appreciated by the audiences. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
