The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Garjanai (transl. Roar) is a 1981 Indian Tamil-language film directed by C. V. Rajendran, starring Rajinikanth and Madhavi. The music was scored by Ilaiyaraaja. The film was simultaneously shot in Malayalam as Garjanam and in Kannada as Garjane (). All three versions of the film failed at the box office. Garjanai ran for 52 days in Chennai making it one of Rajinikanth's films with the shortest run in theatres. It marked Rajinikanth's last Malayalam and Kannada film role till date.
