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

Raja Jani (transl. Raja and His Sweetheart) is a 1972 Indian Hindi-language film, produced by Madan Mohla, directed by Mohan Segal, and written by S. Ali Raza. The film stars Dharmendra, Hema Malini, Premnath, Prem Chopra, Johnny Walker, Durga Khote, Sajjan, Helen and Bindu. The music is by Laxmikant–Pyarelal. Raja Jani was the fourth highest-grossing film of the year. It is a remake of the 1965 Bengali film Rajkanya, which itself is loosely based on the 1956 American film Anastasia. It was itself remade in Tamil in 1983 as Adutha Varisu. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
