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

Bandhe Hath (English: Tied Hands) is a 1973 Hindi-language film produced and written by O. P. Ralhan, and directed by O. P. Goyle. It stars Amitabh Bachchan, Mumtaz in lead roles, with Ajit, Ranjeet, Madan Puri, Asit Sen, O. P. Ralhan, Tun Tun, Pinchoo Kapoor in supporting roles. Upon release, Bandhe Haath found no takers, but with Bachchan emerging as a star later that year with Zanjeer, it saw renewed interest among audiences and went on to recover its cost to emerge as an "average" fare.
