The Railway Men: Bhopal 1984

Before watching this series full of agony, about one of the worst industrial disasters ( The Bhopal Gas Tragedy) in the history of mankind you need to be very strong enough from the core of your heart because it will make you ask questions about the accused ones and the responsible one's and dark side of the failure of government and authorities as well as the people of this great country that are we doing justice for others. It has a very raw and gripping story portrayed just in a perfect manner about the tragedy. Cast and the crew did a justice to the story. Must watch this it's highly recommended.

Although I have watched several documentories and movies in the Bhopal tragedy. This is is too close to reality and can be related by current generation. The serial doesn't divelge from the Railway as the base theme and also send a clear understanding of main Tragedy. Salute to the Person searched the topic and event. So clear and crisp to Railways and Bhopal Tragedy.

The KK is No.1 always and he make things happen and Mahadevan put a spice on it with Juhi as Just a class teacher where students have own action. Sets are not big but effective, Music and sound is average. Actors are just perfect for the plot. Director is excellent to justify the theme. A must watcher for everyone, although I felt some points are directly influenced by the Hindi movie The Burning Train, but this has more punch and continuity. How a CM of state personally arranged a plane for No.1 criminal of state is also captured smartly with a Message A must watch with Family Kuddos.

The story of a few heroes who rise to save several lives, on the night of a massive disaster. The Railway Men is hard-hitting, powerful, and undoubtedly one of the best series of this year. It has some stellar performances, an engaging screenplay, and a perfect editing. The dialogues, cinematography, and production design are strengths of the series too.

Debutant director Shiv Rawail did a great job and delivered a gripping tale of the heroism of Indian Railway employees. The show picks up the pace right from the first episode. Although there were a few subplots and backstories that seemed unnecessary but it has no dull moments and stays focused on the topic till its last episode. The makers have used real-life footage fittingly to make the viewers feel the pain of that fateful night.

Kay Kay Menon has delivered an outstanding performance and honestly, he deserves an award for playing this role. Divyenndu and R. Madhavan have played their part flawlessly. After giving a decent performance in Qala and Friday Night Plan, Babil Khan got a well-written role and he has given an impressive performance. Juhi Chawla, Sunny Hinduja, and Dibyendu Bhattacharya make an impact with their limited screen time. Other supporting actors excel in their respective parts.

I am from bhopal Kamla Park area, I was 9 months old victim of the gas tragedy. When the gas leaked, my parents took me on a bicycle to my uncle's house up at arera colony approximately 8kms from their house. I have seen the aftermath of the gas tragedy first hand, been in the que of court hearing for compensation. I have learnt number of things about the gas tragedy by multiple accounts but beleive me when I watched this series, I got goosebumps imagining the cincumstances...

The story, writing, acting, theatrics, dialect, costume even the 40 year bhopal was too real to be true...

I really appreciate everyone who participated in this series to voice the pain of thousands, there have been many others attempts at portraying the disastrous event of Union Carbide, but this one stands out by far.

Moreover, I didn't know the contribution of railwaymen in this tragedy, they have my heartfelt gratitude and condolences for their loss.

This is a must watch series and anyone who feels this series deserves anything less than a full 10/10, doesn't know what I have experienced.

Kudos to the whole team.!

The Railway Men Series Rocks...

This series is about the Bhopal gas tragedy in 1984 and how the unsung heros ,the railway officials helped the people to overcome the situations..An YRF entertainment series with leas actors KK Menon,Divyendu,Babil khan and Madhavan. The actors have done tremendous job and crossed their own bench mark. Babil khan is someone who can make you feel the smell of MIC by the expression of his eyes. He was wearing a cloth mask and we could see only his eyes but he is so talented that he expressed everything through his eyes. I think this is one of the best series of 2023 and far better than any hit bollywood movie. Absolutely a superb and excellent series. A must watch series from Netflix.
