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

Ninne Pelladata (transl. 'I will marry only you') is a 1996 Indian Telugu-language romantic family drama film written and directed by Krishna Vamsi and produced by Nagarjuna under the Annapurna Studios banner. The film stars Nagarjuna and Tabu, with music composed by Sandeep Chowta, marking his debut in Telugu cinema. The film's production began after Nagarjuna got impressed by Krishna Vamsi's work in Gulabi (1995). Initially, Krishna Vamsi had developed an action-oriented script, but following feedback from Gulabi, he shifted focus to a family-oriented drama. Ninne Pelladata has set many records during its theatrical run and became the highest grosser in Telugu cinema. It received several accolades, including the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Telugu. The film was later dubbed into Tamil as Unnaiye Kalyanam Pannikiren and remade in Kannada as Preethsod Thappa. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
