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

Isi Ka Naam Zindagi (transl. This is called life) is a 1992 Indian Hindi-language supernatural action comedy film directed by Kalidas, starring Aamir Khan, Farah, Pran, Shakti Kapoor in pivotal roles. It was a box office failure. However, actor Pran gave one of his best performances, which was used to promote the movie. It is a remake of the National Award-winning Bengali film Banchharamer Bagaan (1980), which itself is based on the Bengali play Shajano Bagaan by Manoj Mitra. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
