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

Badri is a 2000 Indian Telugu-language romantic action film written and directed by Puri Jagannadh in his directorial debut. The film stars Pawan Kalyan, Amisha Patel, Renu Desai and Prakash Raj. This film marks the South Indian debut of Amisha Patel. The film's music was composed by Ramana Gogula, which marks his second collaboration with Pawan Kalyan after Thammudu (1999). The film became a super hit at the box office and made Pawan Kalyan a star. The film's dialogues and songs were huge hits with the youth. The dialogue “Nuvvu Nanda aithe nenu Badri Badrinath” and songs like “Ye Chikitha” and “Bangala Kathamlo” continued to be popular even after two decades. Puri Jagannadh later remade it in Hindi as Shart: The Challenge (2004). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
