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

Sur Sangam is a 1985 Indian Hindi-language musical drama film written, and directed by K. Viswanath. The soundtrack was helmed by Laxmikant Pyarelal in a true amalgamation of authentic classical sounds with the vocals from Pandit Rajan Sajan Mishras, Lata Mangeshkar, Suresh Wadkar, Kavita Krishnamurthy. The film is a Hindi remake of Viswanath's 1980 Telugu blockbuster Sankarabharanam and explores the cultural divide between Indian classical and Western pop music through the perspectives of characters from different generations.
