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

Comedy Nights With Kapil is an Indian Hindi-language sketch comedy and celebrity talk show hosted and produced by comedian Kapil Sharma. It was on-air on Colors TV amid 22 June 2013 to 24 January 2016. Many of the episodes feature celebrity guests who usually appear to promote their latest films in a comedy-focused talk show format. On 25 September 2013, a fire broke out on the sets of the show at Film City in Goregaon causing the entire set to collapse and an estimated loss of ₹200 million (equivalent to ₹340 million or US$3.6 million in 2023). Following the fire, two episodes were shot on sets of Bigg Boss in Lonavla. In September 2013, the show became India's highest rated scripted TV show. At the CNN-IBN Indian of the Year awards, Sharma was awarded the Entertainer of the Year award for 2013. After a successful run of three years, Kapil Sharma decided to end the show after creative differences with the Colors TV. The last episode aired on 24 January 2016. In August 2016, Colors re-telecast old episodes of the show in their Sunday afternoon time slots due to low target rating points besides stiff competition with Kapil. The show is adapted in Kannada as Majaa Talkies and hosted by Srujan Lokesh. This show is aired on Colors Kannada, the Kannada Channel owned by Colors TV. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
