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

Biju Babu is a 2019 Indian Odia-language political action film written and directed by Debi Prasad Lenka and Vishal Mourya and produced by Nila Madhab Panda. It stars Anubhav Mohanty in the lead role. It is the first Odia film produced by Panda. Mourya claimed it to be the most expensive Odia film at the time. Its first motion poster was released on International Mother Tongue Day. It was released on Odisha Day on 29 March 2019. It is not a biopic of Biju Patnaik (the former Chief Minister of Odisha) as was widely rumored. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
