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
Amaidhipadai (transl. Peacekeeping Force) is a 1994 Indian Tamil-language political satire film, written and directed by Manivannan. The film stars Sathyaraj (in a dual role), Ranjitha, Kasthuri and Sujatha. It revolves around a politician who builds his career through unethical means, while his son, an honest law enforcer, seeks to take him down. Amaidhipadai was released on 13 January 1994. It had a 25-week plus theatrical run and was a silver jubilee hit. The film has since developed a strong cult following. It was remade in Telugu as M. Dharmaraju M.A. (1994), in Hindi as Jallaad (1995), and in Bangla as Thanda Mathar Khuni (2006). A spiritual successor, Nagaraja Cholan MA, MLA was released in 2013, with Sathyaraj returning.
