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

Shiva is a 1990 Indian Hindi-language action drama film written and directed by Ram Gopal Varma. It is a remake of Varma's debut Telugu film Siva (1989). The film has Nagarjuna (in his Hindi debut) and Amala with Raghuvaran and J. D. Chakravarthy in lead roles. All four actors reprise their roles from the original Telugu film. The success of the film led to Ram Gopal Varma directing a prequel in 2006. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
