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

Nishana is a 1950 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama film directed by Wajahat Mirza, and starring Madhubala, Ashok Kumar and Geeta Bali. The film's music was composed by Khurshid Anwar. Nishana was the first time Madhubala appeared opposite Ashok Kumar after their blockbuster Mahal (1949). The film's box office success cemented her star status. It also further popularised the onscreen pairing of Madhubala and Kumar, who went on to star in Ek Saal (1957), Howrah Bridge (1958) and Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi (1958). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
