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

Anbukku Naan Adimai (transl. I am a slave to love) is a 1980 Indian Tamil-language action drama film directed by R. Thyagarajan and produced under the Devar Films banner by C. Dhandayuthapani. It stars Rajinikanth, Rati, Vijayan, and Sujatha. The film was simultaneously made in Telugu as Mayadari Krishnudu (transl.  Mischievous Krishna), with Sreedhar replacing Vijayan and a slightly different supporting cast. It was the third venture of Rajinikanth and Devar Films together and was a hit in the box office. It was remade in Hindi as Thanedaar (1990). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
