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

Chithiram Pesuthadi 2 (transl. The Picture Speaks 2) is a 2019 Indian Tamil-language hyperlink crime thriller film written and directed by Rajan Madhav. It features an ensemble cast including Vidharth, Ajmal Ameer, Ashok Kumar, Radhika Apte, Nivedhitha, Gayathrie, Nivas Adithan, and newcomers Nandan Loganathan and Priya Banerjee. The film has music composed by Sajan Madhav, cinematography by Padmesh and editing by K. Venkatramanan. It is a hyperlink film of four different stories that happen in 48 hours. The film which began production in 2013 under the title Ula was shot in and around Chennai, and the film was released on 15 February 2019. Although the title may suggest it as a sequel to the 2006 blockbuster Chithiram Pesuthadi, the storyline is entirely different, hence proving no apparent relationship between the two films, even though both films were produced by the same producer.
