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

Chanakya Shapatham (transl. Chanakya's vow) is a 1986 Indian Telugu language action film starring Chiranjeevi, Vijayashanti, Rao Gopal Rao and Satyanarayana, produced by D. V. S. Raju and directed by K. Raghavendra Rao. The film marked the third collaboration of Chiranjeevi with Raghavendra Rao after two highly successful films : Adavi Donga and Kondaveeti Raja. However, unlike their previous ventures, Chanakya Shapatham was a critical and commercial failure. Paruchuri brothers had scripted all three films. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
