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

Do Dooni Char (transl. Two twos are four) is a 1968 Indian Hindi-language musical, which is a remake of the 1963 Bengali film Bhranti Bilas based on the 1869 play of the same name by Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar which was loosely based on William Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors. The movie was remade by Gulzar as Angoor and was again adapted by Rohit Shetty as Cirkus. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
