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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Sarkaar Ki Duniya is a reality television show that aired on Real TV from 2 March 2009 to 3 July 2009, modelled on Survivor. It took place on Mango Island in Karwar, Karnataka, and was hosted by film actor Ashutosh Rana. 18 contestants were selected from all over India to be put together. Every week, there was a Dal Nayak (Community Leader) who is elected and assigned a task along with an assigned amount. The Dal Nayak has immunity and is exempt from the elimination. Each player has to pay a tax once a week and the least three tax payers are up for Nishkasan (elimination). The rest of the Dal eliminates one player every week. When the game reached the last four stages, the Nishkasan (elimination) rights were revoked and open to the Indian public to vote for the Maha-Nayak. The final four were Puneesh, Rahshid, Ali Mughal and Sanju. The Grand Finale was telecast on 3 July 2009. The winner was Mr. Puneesh Sharma from Delhi and he won Rs. One Crore as prize money.
