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

Sahasa Samrat (transl. Adventurous emperor) is a 1987 Telugu-language action drama film directed by K. Raghavendra Rao. The film stars Nandamuri Balakrishna, Vijayashanti and music was composed by Chakravarthy. It was produced by K. C. Sekhar Babu under the Devi Kamal Movies banner. The film was recorded as a flop at the box office. The film was originally titled Samrat, but a title dispute with actor Krishna, who was making a film with the same name, led to the title being changed to Sahasa Samrat shortly before its release. Despite the controversy, both films were box office failures. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
