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
CityLights is a 2014 Indian drama film directed by Hansal Mehta, starring Rajkummar Rao and actress Patralekha in the lead roles.

The story is about a poor farmer from Rajasthan coming to Mumbai in search of a livelihood. The film was released on 30 May 2014, and won rave reviews from most critics. In spite of releasing on just 350 screens, CityLights became a success due to its low cost of production and consistent collections at the box office. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
