The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Laila is a 2025 Telugu-language action comedy film directed by Ram Narayan. It was produced by Sahu Garapati under Shine Screens. It stars Vishwak Sen and Akanksha Sharma in the lead. The film, released on 14 February 2025 was critically panned with it eventually becoming one of the most memed Telugu movies of the year, across social media. Produced on a production budget of ₹18 crore, the film was a critical and commercial failure, grossing over only ₹4 crore, becoming a career-high disaster for Vishwak Sen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
