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

Kadhalum Kadanthu Pogum (transl. Love too shall pass) is a 2016 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy film written and directed by Nalan Kumarasamy. Produced by C. V. Kumar of Thirukumaran Entertainment and K. E. Gnanavel Raja of Studio Green, the film stars Vijay Sethupathi and Madonna Sebastian. A remake of the 2010 South Korean film My Dear Desperado, it focuses on a rowdy and an IT professional who share a special bond when they live as neighbours. Nalan initially planned to make a black comedy; however as several other films were being released in the same genre after the release of his Soodhu Kavvum (2013), he rewrote the entire script from scratch. Principal photography began in April 2015 and ended that July, with the film being set mostly in Chennai. The music is composed by Santhosh Narayanan, with Dinesh B. Krishnan and Leo John Paul serving as the cinematographer and editor respectively. The film's title was not revealed until two months after production ended. Kadhalum Kadanthu Pogum was released on 11 March 2016. The film received positive reviews from critics but became an average success at the box office. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
