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

Dharam-Veer is a 1977 Hindi-language period action-drama film, directed by Manmohan Desai, produced by Subhas Desai under the Mehboob Studios and R.K. Studios banner, starring Dharmendra, Zeenat Aman, Jeetendra, Neetu Singh and Pran. Its music was composed by Laxmikant–Pyarelal. Dharmendra's younger son Bobby Deol appears briefly playing the childhood version of his father's character. Dharam-Veer takes place in a mythical kingdom and tells the tale of twin brothers Dharam and Veer played by Dharamendra and Jeetendra respectively, who get separated at birth but still become best friends in childhood, not knowing that they were real brothers, and later turn against each other due to various conspiracies of the villains and in the end reunite. The film became the second highest-grossing film of 1977. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
