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

Sri Krishna Leela (transl. The Play of Lord Krishna) is a 1977 Indian Tamil-language Hindu mythological film, written and directed by A. P. Nagarajan. The film was produced by R. M. Subramaniam, with music from S. V. Venkatraman. Sivakumar starred in the title role with Jayalalithaa, Srividya, Nagesh, R. S. Manohar taking supporting roles. This also marked Jayalalithaa's last film during the 70s era. The film failed at the box-office which led Sivakumar to take a decision of not portraying godly roles ever again.
