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

Gulaab Gang (transl.  Rose gang) is a 2014 Indian Hindi-language action drama film centered on the struggle of women in India, directed and co-written by Soumik Sen and produced by Anubhav Sinha. It stars Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla in lead roles, marking the first time that the two female superstars of the 1990s shared screen space together. Gulaab Gang was released on 7 March 2014, and declared the film a flop on its opening day itself. It received mixed reviews from critics; however, Chawla's performance received widespread critical acclaim, with several critics deeming it "the best performance of the year." At the 60th Filmfare Awards, Gulaab Gang earned Chawla a nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
