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

Ramleela – Ajay Devgn Ke Saath (transl. Ramleela – With Ajay Devgn), commonly known as Ramleela, is a mythological on-stage musical drama, based on the Indian epic poem Ramayan. The show premiered on 21 October 2012 on Life OK and completed the story in five episodes on 18 November 2012. The show was narrated by Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn, who provided a prologue at the beginning of each episode or act. The show aired during the period from Dussehra (the day Rama killed Ravana) in October till Diwali in November (the day Rama returned to Ayodhya, after 14 years of exile). The show was divided into 5- to 10-minute skits combined with songs and dances performed by the main cast and other actors. Bollywood actors and Indian television stars played the roles of the characters. The grand sets and choreographer Remo D'Souza were much appreciated. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
