suspended disbelief, a nice statement

Hi Rajababu,

This is a stock term, originally introduced by the poet Coleridge, that is 
generally used with regards to movies or literary works. Coleridge used the 
words "willing suspension of disbelief" to explain our nature to believe 
(temporarily) events or  characters to be able to appreciate artistic works. 

A good example of this can be found in the movie Dor, directed by Nagesh 
Kukunoor, where you'll find Shreyas Talpade playing a role - known as a 
deus-ex-machina, an improbable or contrived character to help the plot. As the 
audience, you believe that such a character is possible, so you can continue 
with the rest of the story.
