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

Nagaraja Cholan MA, MLA (credited as Nagaraja Cholan MA, MLA: Amaidhipadai – 2) is a 2013 Indian Tamil-language political satire film written and directed by Manivannan. A sequel to Amaidhipadai (1994), it stars Sathyaraj in his 200th film, reprising his role as Nagaraja Cholan from the original, alongside an ensemble cast including Seeman, Manivannan, his son Raghuvannan, Mrudula Murali, Komal Sharma and Varsha Ashwathi. The film, featuring music composed by James Vasanthan, was produced by Ravichandran and K. Suresh under the banner of V House Production Unlike the original, Nagaraja Cholan MA, MLA was unsuccessful. It was Manivannan's 50th and last film as a director and actor, as he died a month after the film's release. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
