Indian actor Ajay Devgn, who recently visited Dubai, provided insights into the enduring popularity of the hit film series "Drishyam" and the recent third installment, "Drishyam: The Conclusion."

He elaborated that the underdog character in these films evokes a sense of justice, making it difficult for viewers to be morally bankrupt while cheering for Vijay. The actor also shared that Vijay's strategic thinking and self-education through crime films add to the intrigue and entertainment value of the franchise.
