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
Priyatama (transl. Sweetheart) is a 1977 Hindi-language musical film, produced by T.C. Dewan under the Modern Pictures banner and directed by Basu Chatterjee. It stars actors like Jeetendra, Neetu Singh, Rakesh Roshan, Asha Sachdev in lead roles, with music composed by Rajesh Roshan. Asha Sachdev won the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress for the portrayal of the character of Renu. According to film expert Rajesh Subramanian producer T C Dewan in a foul mood rejected the song Koi roko na stating its rubbish. He spoke harshly to lyricist Yogesh Gaur which hurt the writer deeply. Although Dewan later apologised Yogesh walked out of the film never fo work again with him. Song writer Anjaan stepped in to pen the remaining songs. Ironically Koi roko na sung by Kishore Kumar became a chartbuster. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
