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

Chaar Sahibzaade (Punjabi: ਚਾਰ ਸਾਹਿਬਜ਼ਾਦੇ, Punjabi pronunciation: [t͡ʃaːɾə̆ sɑː˦.ɦəbᵊzaːde]; transl. Four Princes) is a 2014 Indian Punjabi animated historical drama film written and directed by Harry Baweja and produced by Pammi Baweja, under Baweja Movies. It is based on the sacrifices of the sons of the 10th Sikh guru Guru Gobind Singh Ji—Sahibzada Ajit Singh, Jujhar Singh, Zorawar Singh, and Fateh Singh. Om Puri provided the film's narration, and the voice artists for various characters were kept anonymous. It was also the highest grossing Punjabi film when it was released (only surpassed by Carry on Jatta 2 in July 2018). It was released on 6 November 2014 to positive reviews from critics and audiences, and emerged as a major box office success, eventually becoming the highest-grossing animated film to be produced in India. In 2025, it was overtaken by the Hindi animated film Mahavatar Narsimha (2025) produced by Kleem Productions and presented by Hombale Films. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
