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

This film jokes about how people in India believe in astrology and superstition. It shows characters who follow these ideas blindly instead of thinking about science.

What happens

Vaastu Prakaara is a 2015 Indian Kannada language satirical comedy film written and directed by Yogaraj Bhat starring Jaggesh, Rakshit Shetty, Aishani Shetty and Parul Yadav. The supporting cast features Anant Nag, Sudha Rani, T. N. Seetharam and Sudha Belawadi. The film deals in the belief of Indians in astrology and superstition and how it is being blindly followed and overlooked over science. Upon theatrical release on 2 April 2015, the film received mixed reviews from critics. They felt, carrying expectations along as a 'Yogaraj Bhat film', the film failed to deliver as it lacked a "strong foundation" and "a sound structure". However, the performances of Jaggesh and Nag received unanimous praise. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
