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
Dubai is a 2001 Indian Malayalam-language political action film directed by Joshiy starring Mammootty, Biju Menon, Vijayakumar, N. F. Varghese, Anjala Zaveri and Nirmal Pandey. Cochin Haneefa, Janardhanan, Nedumudi Venu and Preetha Vijayakumar play supporting roles. The script for the film was written by Renji Panicker. It is one of the Malayalam movies with a long duration. It received negative reviews from the critics and was a failure at the box office. Barring a few scenes in the beginning, the film was completely shot in the United Arab Emirates. It was one of the most-expensive films made in Malayalam cinema at that time. The film ended up being the biggest loss-maker in Malayalam cinema at the time. The film's failure is attributed to insufficient marketing and the several delays in its release.
