    Great perfomance

    Auto Shanker the Web series on Zee 5 is hard hitting with excellent perfomance from all including Sarath Appani as Auto Shankar...kudos to the director for breaking norms and bringing realistic perfomance including swear words (never heard before in Tamil cinema)..worth a watch

    Absolutely brilliant Tamil Crime TV

    This show is criminally underrated , the best crime TV series in Tamil ever made. I really hope more people hear and watch this show. It's equal to Vada Chennai. It's completely worth the time.
