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.
How it feels

What happens
Doorada Betta ( transl. Faraway mountain) is a 1973 Kannada-language film directed by Siddalingaiah. The film starred Rajkumar and Bharathi Vishnuvardhan in lead roles with Balakrishna, K. S. Ashwath, Leelavathi and Sampath playing supporting roles. The film, along with Mooruvare Vajragalu was Rajkumar's last movie in black-and-white (though this movie did have a few sequences in colour). This movie was the last venture featuring the celebrated team — Rajkumar, Siddalingaiah and Bharathi. The core plot of the movie is loosely based on the National Award winning 1965 Marathi movie Sadhi Mansa. This was the last film where Rajkumar and Bharathi were seen together. It was also Rajkumar's last collaboration with Siddalingaiah. This is also the only Kannada movie where popular singer Asha Bhonsle has lent her voice for a song and dance number. The movie saw a modest theatrical run. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
