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.

Music for this film was composed by R.D. Burman. The film focuses on a supposedly haunted house and its resident family. The house's original owner was murdered and his immediate family disappeared without a trace. Half a century later, two of his heirs are murdered and a third one receives death threats.
