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.

Shortcut Safari had its festival premiere at The National Children’s Film Festival (NCFF) on 15 November 2014, established by the Children's Film Society of India (CFSI) in the capital, New Delhi. Amitabha Singh's debut film, Shortcut Safari, was screened for the audience of Bengal at Nandan (Kolkata) on 24 December 2014. As part of the 4th Kolkata International Children's Film Festival, a special show of the film was organised by Shishu Kishore Academy, an institution under the aegis of the Information and Cultural Affairs Department, Government of West Bengal. Shortcut Safari is a film in Hindi that revolves around the story of a group of urban children who get trapped in a dense forest during their school outing. It's a story of exploration and adventure through the experiences of these seven children over three days, who gain values in mutual respect, team-spirit and perseverance on the one hand; and the vital relevance of a clean environment with a balanced wildlife on the other.
