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

Ziddi (transl. Stubborn) is a 1948 Bollywood film directed by Shaheed Latif. It was based on a story written by Ismat Chughtai. The film helped establish actors Dev Anand, Kamini Kaushal and Pran in Hindi films. The playback singers Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar recorded their first duet "Yeh Kaun Aaya Re" together in Ziddi. Apparently Kishore Kumar also had a role of Gardener in the movie. Also a famous incident took place which was in a scene Kishore Kumar had to taunt Dev Anand but in the scene when first shot, he cussed at him and Ashok Kumar was shocked to see what had happened.
