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

Kasidre Kailasa () is a 1971 Indian Kannada-language film directed and produced by K. Janakiram. The film stars Rajkumar, Udaykumar, Vanisri and Pandari Bai. The musical score was composed by Satyam. The film was remade in Hindi in 1976 as Sabse Bada Rupaiya, directed by S. Ramanathan, the brother of Kannada actor Shivaram. The 2021 Kannada film 1980 features a sequence where this movie is being telecast on the television. A dialogue by Udaykumar to Rajkumar, advertising not to blindly trust one's loved ones without understanding their intentions, is used as a technique of foreshadowing. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
