It's October 2, and the internet is buzzing with the query, "Yaad hai na 2 October ko kya hua tha?". This date weighs three big events. A, it's Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti, a day of national observance. B, today is the birthday of India's former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri. And C - Bollywood fans will remember it by heart as the day Vijay Salgaonkar and his family outwitted everyone.
For those who are unfamiliar, here's a little background. On this day in Drishyam in 2015, the protagonist, Vijay Salgaonkar (played by Ajay Devgn), and his family take a bus to Panaji to attend a Satsang, have Pav Bhaji for lunch, and return home the next day, October 3.?
While Salgaonkar possesses bus tickets, movie tickets, and restaurant receipts to back up his claim of travelling to the Goan capital, he constantly recounts the events of that day to various individuals in the movie.
This became fodder for memes, and every year, the Internet is inundated with Salgaonkar's famed exchange. And this year is no exception. Salgaonkar memes abound on the social networking site X (previously Twitter). Here's what people shared this year.
Whether you're a fan of Drishyam and Drishyam 2 or haven't yet experienced the excitement, October 2 is the best day to see the drama unfold. So, grab your rectangular slabs, laptops, or TV remotes and engage in a binge-watching session. This time, perhaps, have a platter of scrumptious Pav Bhaji.
