Getting real

Nothing extraordinary ever happens, we think that some miracle would intervene with the natural flow of the events, something which will turn the scales in our favour.

...For splendid camera work

"Nothing is what it seems" I knew the prestige and the Illusionist had releases in the same year. Fighting and fending off Christopher Nolan and still earning a good place in audience's minds is not an easy task. Especially when you know the context of both the movies is similar and those rev...Read more
