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
Aankhen (transl. Eyes) is a 2002 Indian Hindi-language heist crime thriller film directed by Vipul Amrutlal Shah. The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Arjun Rampal, Sushmita Sen, Paresh Rawal and Aditya Pancholi. The film is an adaptation of Shah's own Gujarati stage play Andhalo Pato (transl. Blindman's Buff). The film tells the story of Vijay Singh Rajput (Bachchan) a hard-working but temperamental man, who has spent all his life working for a bank. When he is unlawfully fired, he decides to take vengeance by organizing a heist, and having the bank robbed by three blind men (Kumar, Rampal and Rawal), as no one will suspect them. Aankhen had its worldwide premiere in Malaysia at the 3rd IIFA Awards ceremony on 5 April 2002. Upon release, Aankhen was praised for its concept, story line and direction. It turned out to be the fifth highest-grossing Hindi film of the year. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
