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

Apoorva Sangama ( transl. Rare Rendezvous) is a 1984 Indian Kannada-language film directed by Y. R. Swamy. It stars Rajkumar, Shankar Nag and Ambika. The music for the film was composed by Upendra Kumar. "Apoorva Sangama" had a theatrical run of 16 weeks. The film is a remake of Hindi film Johny Mera Naam. Rajkumar agreed to be a part of the movie in spite of it being a remake for the sake of then financially distressed director Y.R. Swamy who has the distinction of having directed Rajkumar in most number of movies - making this just the 18th and the last remake of Rajkumar's career. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
