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

Zanjeer (transl. Shackles) is a 2013 Indian crime action film directed by Apoorva Lakhia. A remake of the 1973 cult classic of the same name, the film stars Ram Charan, Priyanka Chopra, Sanjay Dutt, Prakash Raj, Atul Kulkarni, and Mahie Gill. The film was shot simultaneously in Hindi and Telugu, the latter titled Thoofan (transl. Storm) with Srihari replacing Dutt. This also marks Charan's Hindi cinema debut as well as Chopra's Telugu cinema debut and her second South Indian film after her debut film, Thamizhan (2002).
