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
Vedalam (Tamil pronunciation: [ˈʋeːd̪aːɭam]; transl. Phantom) is a 2015 Indian Tamil-language action film directed and co-written by Siva. It stars Ajith Kumar, Shruti Haasan and Lakshmi Menon while Ashwin Kakumanu, Rahul Dev, Thambi Ramaiah, Kabir Duhan Singh, and Soori play supporting roles. The film features music composed by Anirudh Ravichander, while the cinematography and editing were done by Vetri and Ruben. The project was announced in mid-2014 after the success of Ajith and Siva's previous collaboration, Veeram, where in October 2014, Rathnam was announced to lead the production. The team underwent significant changes with the film's cast and crew, and the completion of Ajith's other film, Yennai Arindhaal, delayed the film's production. Principal photography began in April 2015, with filming taking place in major portions across Kolkata, and also in Chennai and Milan, Italy, and was completed that October. The film began production under the working title Thala 56, before Vedalam was officially announced in September 2015. Vedalam was released worldwide on 10 November 2015 coinciding with Diwali. The film grossed around ₹120–150 crore at the box office upon its release and was a profitable venture for the traders and exhibitors. It was remade in Telugu as Bhola Shankar (2023).
