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.
How it feels

What happens
Ithihasa is a 2014 Indian Malayalam-language fantasy comedy film directed by Binu Sadanandan and written by Aneesh Lee Ashok and Anil Narayanan. The film tells the story of body swapping between a conservative young software professional Janaki (Anusree) and an easy going young pickpocketer, Alvy (Shine Tom Chacko). The music was composed by Deepak Dev. The film received positive reviews from critics and audiences. It turned out to be a sleeper hit and was especially praised for the humour, music and screenplay. It is inspired from the 2002 Hollywood film The Hot Chick. A spiritual successor to the film titled Mask starring Shine Tom Chacko and Chemban Vinod Jose was released in 2019.
