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

Jole Jongole is a 2018 Indian Bengali-language science-fantasy action film directed by Nitish Roy, who was the production designer for the Hollywood horror film Crocodile 2: Death Swamp. The film stars Mithun Chakraborty as a 'mad' scientist who wants to bring back prehistoric creatures, perished millions of years ago from the earth as he is trying to expand the brain of crocodiles. Jackie Shroff stars as the antagonist who wants to take control of dangerous crocodiles for his own park. A few scenes of the film were shot in Prayag Film City in West Midnapore, and shooting was completed by early 2012, but got stuck in development hell and was finally released on 6 January 2018.
