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
Dum Laga Ke Haisha (transl. Give it all your force), released internationally as My Big Fat Bride, is a 2015 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy-drama film written and directed by Sharat Katariya and produced by Maneesh Sharma in his production debut under Yash Raj Films, with chairman and norm producer Aditya Chopra serving as presenter. The film stars Ayushmann Khurrana and debutante Bhumi Pednekar in the lead roles and follows Prem and Sandhya, a reluctantly newlywed couple in Haridwar who navigate their marital frictions as they overcome their differences. Dum Laga Ke Haisha marked Khurrana's second collaboration with Yash Raj Films and Pednekar's debut following her stint as an assistant casting director with the company. Manu Anand and Namrata Rao, who had worked with Sharma on Shuddh Desi Romance, respectively served as cinematographer and editor. The film's soundtrack was composed by Anu Malik in his first outing with the studio, with Italian composer Andrea Guerra composing the background score. Dum Laga Ke Haisha was released on 27 February 2015 to positive reviews from critics and was a commercial success. According to Box Office India, the film collected ₹42 crore (US$4.4 million) domestically after a five-week run. The film celebrated 50 days of its theatrical run on 16 April 2015. The film's final worldwide gross was ₹71.85 crore (US$7.5 million).
