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

Jaffa is a 2013 Indian Telugu-language black comedy film written and directed by Vennela Kishore. The film stars comedian Brahmanandam as the main protagonist for the second time in his career. The films also star other comedians like Ali, Thagubothu Ramesh, Fish Venkat, and even Kishore. The film is produced by Ramesh Varma, with Anoop Rubens scoring the music. Brahmanandam was supposed to direct the film on a script written by Kishore, but eventually he opted out and handed the project to Kishore due to hectic schedules. The film, one of the most awaited Telugu films in recent times, was originally scheduled to release in 2012, but after several delays, it released on 29 March 2013. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
