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

Shikari (transl. The Hunter) is a 2000 Indian crime thriller film directed by N. Chandra. It stars Govinda, Karishma Kapoor and Tabu, in pivotal roles. It was the second collaboration between the Govinda-Karishma-Tabu trio after Saajan Chale Sasural in 1996. It was the first time that Govinda had chosen an anti-hero role while Karishma Kapoor chose an action-packed role, during which Govinda was briefly typed in comic roles and Karishma for glamorous roles. Govinda also wore prosthetic makeup for the first time in his career. It was released on the eve of Dusshera. Upon release, the film was an below-average grosser at the box office, but Govinda's work was mostly appreciated by the critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
