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
Guzaarish (transl. Request) is a 2010 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama film written, composed, produced, and directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The film stars Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the lead roles, while Shernaz Patel, Aditya Roy Kapur, Monikangana Dutta, Suhel Seth, Swara Bhaskar, and Makrand Deshpande play supporting roles. It was jointly produced by Ronnie Screwvala under UTV Motion Pictures. The film narrates the story of a paralyzed magician-turned-radio jockey who files a petition in court seeking permission to end his life. The film was released on 19 November 2010 to positive reviews from critics, who praised the direction, cinematography, and performances, particularly of Roshan, and Rai. It is regarded as one of the best performances of Roshan. However, veteran Indian writer Dayanand Rajan claimed that the plot of the film was plagiarised from his unpublished novel Summer Snow. Guzaarish is the third film to feature Roshan opposite Rai after Dhoom 2 and Jodhaa Akbar. The film received nominations for its direction, music and performances of the lead actors, notably Roshan and Rai being nominated under the Filmfare Award for Best Actor and Best Actress, respectively, as well as both critics and popular choice awards at other functions.
