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

Kurukshetra is a 1945 Indian Hindi-language film directed by Rameshwar Sharma. Produced Under the banner of Unity Pictures it starred K. L. Saigal as Karna, P. V. Narasimha Bharathi as Krishna, Radharani, Nawab, Shanti, Biman Bannerji and Shamli and had music composed by Ganpatrao. The film was cited as an offbeat film of K. L. Saigal, directed by a relatively unknown director; it's stated to be a "forerunner" to later Art Cinema. It was also the on-screen debut for actor Ajit Khan. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
