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

Kirathakudu is a 1986 Telugu-language crime film, based on Hollywood movie 'Escape from Newyork'. It was directed by A. Kodandarami Reddy. The film stars Chiranjeevi, Suhasini, Silk Smitha and Jaggayya. S. V. Krishna Reddy plays a eunuch. This story is based on an idea that, by 1995–2000, the number of criminals in the country would drastically increase and the government could not maintain the prisons. It demarcates some of the areas as crime zones and builds a protection around them. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
