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

Police Matthu Dada is a 1991 Indian action film, directed by Thulasi-Shyam and produced by R. F. Manik Chand and K. Nithyanand. The film stars Vishnuvardhan, Sangeeta Bijlani, Roopa Ganguly and Srinath. The film has musical score by Bappi Lahiri. The film was simultaneously made in Kannada and Hindi, with the latter version titled Inspector Dhanush with a slightly different supporting cast. While the Kannada version made fair buck, the Hindi version was a major dud at box office. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
