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

Farz (transl. Duty) is a 1967 Hindi-language spy thriller film, directed by Ravikant Nagaich and produced by Sunderlal Nahata and Dhoondy. It starred Jeetendra and Babita with music composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal. The film is a remake of the Telugu film Gudachari 116 (1966). It had two sequels, Keemat (1973) starring Dharmendra and Raksha (1982) starring Jeetendra again. Farz has lot of similarities with the Bond film Dr. No, specially the initial plot element of a fellow agent's death investigation and the climax involving the main villain.
