The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Natsamrat (transl. The King of Theater or The Emperor of Actors) is a 2018 Indian Gujarati-language drama film starring Siddharth Randeria and Deepika Chikhalia in the leading role. The film is the remake of Marathi film of the same name starring Nana Patekar, which is based on Marathi play by V. V. Shirwadkar. Before making it to the big screen, Randeria has adopted the screen play to a Gujarati-language stage play named Amari Duniya, Tamari Duniya in 2007, with many known faces of Gujarati theatre including Randeria himself, Jimmit Trivedi, and Disha Savla-Upadhyay. The story of the film is about an actor who has reached many heights in his career, but has to retire from acting at the peak. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
