The streaming giant has made a name for itself nationwide, thanks to its excellent track record. On the feature film front, it has streamed the likes of ‘Roudram Ranam Rudhiram’ to a blockbuster response. Several other Telugu hits have also been streamed successfully.

Like ZEE5’s recent originals, ‘ATM’, too, has been an acclaimed show. The web series has been a massive hit. Already, the series has amassed a whopping 50 million streaming minutes. The viewers are loving the episodes right from the time Subbaraju’s character makes a dashing entry in the third episode. The climax has been described by the show’s viewers as nail-biting.
Director C Chandra Mohan and his writing department have been lauded for creating a compelling lead to the second season of ‘ATM’ by talking about the mysterious fifth character.
