The 2015 thriller
Drishyam, starring Ajay Devgn, Tabu and Shriya Saran was an acclaimed film due to its unique script and engaging narrative. A remake of the 2013 Malayalam film of the same name, in the film, the protagonist, Vijay Sargaonkar, is shown to be a cinema buff who gets ideas of deceiving the cops through movies.

Drishyam while committing a heinous crime.
