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

Ranmuiy (transl. Golden Pearl) is a 2001 Maldivian drama film directed by Abdulla Sujau and Abdul Faththaah. Produced by Abdul Muhaimin, the film stars Ismail Wajeeh and Aishath Ibrahim in pivotal roles. The film was heavily marketed for its item song titled "Bahdhaluvumun Vejje Dheewana" featuring Indian actress Rajeshwari which was initially planned with Bollywood actress Juhi Chawla but had to cut short after she sprained her ankle while trying to board a speedboat.
