We proudly claim to have invented the zero but when it comes to our films, we aren't content in making heroes out of our actors. We expect them to be superheroes. Bashing up a troop of goons single-handedly or romancing girls on snow-clad mountaintops or shaking a leg to the foot-thumping number - the superhero does it all without breaking into a sweat. The fact that our superheroes are completely capable of being human, just add to their charms. Can Spiderman, Superman or Batman claim to have similar powers? We have been doing it for a while now. 100 years to be precise!
6. Time Lapse
Remember the time when a pair of small feet started running and magically transformed into big feet? No Big Foot was summoned to cast his spell here. We have been using the time-lapse effectively for quite some time now. Children who boarded a train, were magically transformed into adults when they alighted. Dapper and beautiful actors started graying at the temples before ageing beyond cognizance. There was no trickery involved here. We just believed in giving the audience a taste of time-travel.
