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

Zeenat is a 1975 Pakistani film directed by S. Suleman. Shabnam played the title role in the film opposite Nadeem and Shahid. It revolves around the sufferings of a baby girl and her journey to womanhood, until she is accepted by her grandfather, who hated her throughout his life. The Mehdi Hassan's ghazal featured in the film, "Rafta Rafta Wo Meri Hasti Ka Samaa Hogaye" became hugely popular and he eventually went on to win a Nigar Award for it as a playback singer. The film was a golden jubilee hit at the box office. At 19th Nigar Awards, it won five Nigar Awards. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
