Web Series are the biggest relief for cinephiles, as they can witness censorless content. Due to many restrictions in the Indian cinema and television industry, creators compile their content and deliver it like an uncooked dish. When the OTT platform emerged, creators started cooking their innovative thoughts and making them happen in every aspect. Kollywood is known for delivering many untold stories, even though the films can be seen as unfilled when it comes to political genres, romantic drama, or crime thrillers. But all this content is so refreshingly made in some Tamil web series, which is really thoughtful and creative.
