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
Welcome is a 2007 Indian Hindi-language comedy film co-written and directed by Anees Bazmee. A loose remake of the 1999 English comedy Mickey Blue Eyes, it stars Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Anil Kapoor, Nana Patekar, Paresh Rawal, Mallika Sherawat, and Feroz Khan in his final film role. Khan's character and dialogues became largely popular among the masses even after his demise. Suniel Shetty made guest appearance. Made on a budget of ₹320 million (US$3.4 million) which includes making and marketing costs, Welcome was distributed by UTV Motion Pictures. It was theatrically released worldwide on 21 December 2007, coinciding with the Christmas festival. The film received mostly mixed-to-positive reviews from critics with particular praise towards Patekar and Kapoor's performances. Nevertheless, the film emerged as a major commercial success and went on to become the second highest grossing Hindi film of the year with global revenues of ₹1.22 billion (US$13 million). It is considered as a modern cult film. The film is the first instalment of the Welcome series and spawned a sequel, Welcome Back (2015). A third, unrelated instalment in the series, titled Welcome to the Jungle, released in 2026. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
