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

Beder Meye Josna (lit. 'Bede's Daughter Josna') is a 1989 Bangladeshi romantic fantasy drama film directed by Tozammel Hossain Bakul and produced by Abbas Ullah Shikder under the banner of Tripti Films. Starring Ilias Kanchan and Anju Ghosh in the lead roles, the film is based on a popular Bengali folk tale about the love story between a snake charmer's daughter and a prince. Upon release, Beder Meye Josna became an unprecedented box office success, emerging as the highest-grossing Bangladeshi film of all time, a record it held for over three decades (1989–2023) until it was overtaken by Priyotoma. Its songs, composed by Alauddin Ali, became hugely popular, particularly the title song, performed by Runa Laila and Andrew Kishore. The film is considered an all-time classic in Bangladeshi cinema.
