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

Despite its short history, the Nepali movie industry has its own place in the cultural heritage of Nepal. Nepalese films or Nepalese cinema refers to films made in Nepali language within Nepal and beyond. Most Nepalese films are narrative and were shot on 16-millimeter film during the film era, which are now mostly digitally captured. The first Nepali-language film was Satya Harischandra, which was released in 1951 in Darjeeling, India, and produced by D. B. Pariyar. The first Nepali-language movie made in Nepal was Aama, which was released in 1964 produced by the Nepalese government. However, the first Nepali-language movie made by the Nepalese private sector was Maitighar, which starred Mala Sinha and was released in 1966. The first color Nepali-language movie was Kumari. Purna Bahadur Ko Sarangi holds the record of highest-grossing film in Nepal with gross of रु 51.40 crore (514.0 million NPR). The sequel is set to release in 2083 BS. The movie collected over NPR 75 Crores at the worldwide box office, breaking multiple records and touching millions of hearts. It has since become one of the most loved Nepali films of all time.
