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

Kill is a 2023 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film written and directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat and produced by Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment. The film, which is inspired by a train robbery experienced by Bhat in 1995, stars Lakshya, Raghav Juyal, Ashish Vidyarthi, Harsh Chhaya, Tanya Maniktala and Abhishek Chauhan. Kill premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on 7 September 2023, where it was first runner-up for the People's Choice Award: Midnight Madness. It was also screened at the Tribeca Film Festival in June 2024. Kill was theatrically released on 5 July 2024 to positive reviews from critics, who praised its cinematography, visuals, soundtrack, cast performances and action sequences but criticized the overly graphic violence and plot. The film grossed ₹47.12 crore against a budget of ₹40 crore. Kill received fifteen nominations at the 70th Filmfare Awards including Best Film, Best Director (Bhat), Best Male Debut (Lakshya) and Best Supporting Actor (Juyal) and won Best Male Debut (Lakshya).
