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

Pathinaaru (transl. Sixteen) is a 2011 Indian Tamil-language romantic drama film written and directed by Sabapathy Dekshinamurthy. It stars Shiva and Madhu Shalini. The film's background score and soundtrack was composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja. Though production began in October 2008 under the title 16, the film languished in production hell, and was complete only by early 2010. A year later, Kalaipuli S. Thanu bought the distribution rights and released the film on 28 January 2011 under his V. Creations banner. It was remade in Kannada the same year as Jolly Boy by the same director.
