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

Bangalore Mail is a 1968 Indian Kannada-language mystery thriller film directed by L. S. Narayana and produced by Y. V. Rao. The film stars Rajkumar, Narasimharaju and Jayanthi. The movie is a remake of the 1967 Malayalam movie Cochin Express, which was also subsequently remade in Telugu as Circar Express, in Tamil as Neelagiri Express and in Hindi as The Train. Malayalam actor Kottarakkara Sreedharan Nair appeared in the role of a gangster in his only Kannada movie appearance. Director S. K. Bhagavan played the role of antagonist in the movie. This is one of the few movies where credits to Chi. Udayashankar appear first before crediting the lead roles of the movie. Rajkumar makes an entry after nearly half an hour into the movie.
