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

Paramapadham Vilayattu (transl. The snakes and ladders game) also shortly Paramapadham is a 2021 Indian Tamil-language political action thriller film directed by Thirugnanam. The film stars Trisha Krishnan in her 60th film, newcomer Vijay Varmaa, Nandaa, and Richard Rishi, while A. L. Azhagappan, Manasvi Kottachi, and Vela Ramamoorthy play supporting roles. The music was composed by Amresh Ganesh with cinematography by J. Dinesh and editing by Pradeep E. Ragav. The film's release date had been postponed from its original date of February 28, 2020 for unexplained reasons. A year later, the film's theatrical release was cancelled, and it was decided to release the film via Disney+ Hotstar on 14 April 2021, during the occasion of Puthandu. It failed to impress audiences, who largely did not favour its writing and plot. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
