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

Khazana (transl. "Treasure") is a 1951 Indian Hindi-language adventure film directed by M. Sadiq and starring Madhubala and Nasir Khan. The music of the film was composed by C. Ramchandra. Based on novel King Solomon's Mines (1885), Khazana is considered to be one of the most important Indian films made about invention and adventures. On its theatrical release in March 1951, the film became a box office hit; its success was attributed to Madhubala's popularity among the masses. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
