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
Johnny Gaddaar (transl. Johnny the Traitor) is a 2007 Indian Hindi-language neo-noir crime thriller film written and directed by Sriram Raghavan, produced under the banner Adlabs. It stars Dharmendra, alongside Neil Nitin Mukesh, in his film debut, Zakir Hussain, Rimi Sen, Vinay Pathak, Govind Namdeo, Dayanand Shetty and Ashwini Kalsekar. The film received critical acclaim and was a sleeper hit at the box-office. It was remade in Malayalam as Unnam, in Telugu as Kamina and in Tamil as Johnny. The film was later identified as an uncredited adaptation of the 1962 French novel Les Mystifies by Alain Reynaud Fourton, which was first adapted into the 1963 French film Symphony for a Massacre by Jacques Deray. In 2018, Raghavan confessed to having read the novel while he was working at ISRO on public safety announcement films. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
