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

Kakababur Protyaborton (transl. The return of Kakababu) is a 2022 Indian Bengali-language action-adventure film written and directed by Srijit Mukherji. Produced by Shrikant Mohta and Mahendra Soni under the banner of Shree Venkatesh Films, the film is based on Sunil Gangopadhyay's 1986 novel Jongoler Modhye Ek Hotel from his Kakababu series. The narrative follows Kakababu and Shontu to Kenya, where they look into the mysterious disappearance of German tourists at a resort in Masai Mara. A sequel to the 2017 film Yeti Obhijaan, the film serves as the third instalment in the SVF Kakababu Franchise. It stars Prosenjit Chatterjee and Aryann Bhowmik reprising their roles as Kakababu and Shontu respectively, alongside Anirban Chakrabarti in the lead roles. Kakababur Protyaborton was released on 4 February 2022. It opened to mixed reviews from critics and audience, praising the cast performances, music, action sequences and visuals, and criticising for its narrative style, writing, and runtime. A sequel, Vijaynagar'er Hirey, was released in 2026, serving as the fourth instalment. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
