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

Chunaoti is a 1980 Indian Hindi-language action adventure film directed by Satpal. The film stars Feroz Khan, Neetu Singh, Danny Denzongpa and Dharmendra (in a special appearance). The film took six years to complete. By the time it was released, Neetu Singh had already retired from acting after marrying Rishi Kapoor and Feroz Khan had stopped acting in outside productions. Upon release, it received mixed reviews, with many critics making indifferent comparisons of the film's premise with Dharmatma (1975), Khote Sikkay (1974) and Kaala Sona (1975), the earlier films of Khan and Denzongpa based on the same theme. At the box office, it was moderately successful and the 14th highest grossing film of 1980. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
