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

Nanna Thamma ( transl. My younger brother) is a 1970 Indian Kannada-language film, directed by K. Babu Rao and produced by K. V. Guptha. The film stars Rajkumar, Jayanthi, Gangadhar and R. Nagendra Rao. The film has musical score by Ghantasala. The film is a remake of the director's own 1969 Telugu movie Jarigina Katha. Ghantasala retained the Telugu song Bhale Manchi Roju in the Kannada version as Ide Hosa Haadu. The film was not a huge success at the box office. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
