Auto Shankar is an Indian crime thriller streaming television series released on ZEE5, in the setting of Madras from 1985 to 1995.

The story revolves around an auto driver whose life changes when he gets involved in the local transportation of liquor and prostitution.

He slowly becomes more involved in his illegal trade, and spirals out of control, becoming connected to various businessmen and politicians.

As it stands, it's a good addition to adult Tamil web series content but falls short of hitting the mark".
