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

Hatya (translation: Murder) is a 1988 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film directed and produced by Kirti Kumar. Released on 3 June 1988, the film stars an ensemble cast of Govinda, Neelam, Sujitha, Anupam Kher, Babu Antony, Om Shivpuri, Raj Kiran, Johnny Lever and Satyen Kappu. This film is a remake of Malayalam film Poovinu Puthiya Poonthennal (1986) which was remade into five other languages - in Tamil as Poovizhi Vasalile (1987), in Telugu as Pasivadi Pranam (1987), in Kannada as Aapadbandhava, in Bangladeshi as Khotipuron and in Sinhalese as Veda Barinam Vedak Nehe. Hatya (1988) was a hit at the box office. Hatya was mainly adapted from the Telugu remake of the original Malyalam one because of the differences between the Telugu version and Malyalam version and Hatya (1988) has the same differences that existed in the Telugu remake.
