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

Mere Sanam (English: My Lover) is a 1965 Indian Hindi-language romantic musical film directed by Amar Kumar and written by Narendra Bedi and Rajinder Singh Bedi. It stars Biswajeet, Asha Parekh, Mumtaz, Pran and Rajendra Nath. The film was a hit at the box office, especially because of the music composed by O. P. Nayyar. The songs were sung by Asha Bhosle & Mohammed Rafi to the lyrics written by Majrooh Sultanpuri. The film was shot in Jammu and Kashmir just before the outbreak of Indo-Pakistani war of 1965. The songs "Jaiye Aap Kahan Jayenge", "Yeh Hai Reshmi Zulfon Ka Andhera", "Pukarta Chala Hoon Main" and "Humdum Mere Maan Bhi Jao" are milestones in Hindi film music. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
