Gandhi Jayanti is observed on October 2 across India. People remember Mahatma Gandhi's contributions towards the Indian Independence movement. However, Bollywood buffs also remember this date for the film- 'Drishyam'. In the movie, actor Ajay Devgn's character Vijay Salgaonkar creates an alibi using this date to get out of a murder.
In the 2015 movie Drishyam, a dialogue involving this date was repeated so often that it is etched in the memories of movie buffs.
October 2 was a crucial part of the plot of Drishyam and even after 8 years, fans still can't get over it. X users are going bonkers over this dialogue yet again.
