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

Manasiloru Manimuthu (transl. A bell pearl in mind) is a 1986 Indian Malayalam-language drama film directed by J. Sasikumar and written by S. L. Puram Sadanandan from a story by Sasikumar, produced by Royal Achankunju. The film stars Mohanlal, Suresh Gopi, Urvashi and Sankaradi. The film's songs were composed by Shyam, while the background score was provided by Johnson. The narrative centers around Mohan (portrayed by Mohanlal), a wealthy individual known for his flawed personality. He falls in love with a woman (played by Urvashi), who ultimately marries another man (played by Suresh Gopi), and they have a child together. Tragedy strikes when Suresh Gopi's character is murdered, and Mohan becomes the prime suspect in the eyes of the community. The film unfolds as a drama exploring themes of love, jealousy, and the quest for justice. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
