The Railway Men

The Railway Man Review 🎭

where to start literally.. I didn't have much expectations from this show, but it shocked me literally. I just finished the show and I have goosebumps right now.

About the show.. uff From the very first frame, to the very last scene.. exceptional content! I really don't have words to express how brilliant this show is. The thrill kept me at the edge of my seat most of the time. First episode is completely about establishing the characters, build there arcs, yet had a sense of urgency.. like.. something's coming!

Recommendation MUST WATCH, if u miss u will miss the story of real courage.

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.

The Railway Men is a captivating series that takes viewers on a gripping journey through the tragic Bhopal gas leak incident of 1984 and its aftermath. The cinematography of the series is excellent, capturing the essence of the 80s era with its meticulous attention to detail. It effectively portrays the devastating impact of the gas leak on the community and the subsequent events that unfolded. The color grading adds to the authenticity, creating a visually immersive experience.

The acting performances in the series are excellent, with every actor delivering a great performance. Kay Kay Menon shines in his role as the stationmaster, bringing depth and authenticity to the character. R. Madhavan's portrayal of the GM railways is also commendable, showcasing a nuanced performance. Additionally, Babil Khan's portrayal of the new railway employee showcases raw talent and delivers a captivating performance, reminiscent of his late father Irrfan Khan's legendary acting prowess.

One of the strengths of The Railway Men is its focus on the relief operation and the workings of the government machinery. The series provides a balanced view, showcasing both the sacrifices and timely decisions that resulted in saving thousands of lives, as well as the consequences of corrupt practices. The inclusion of the background stories of each individual adds depth to the characters, allowing viewers to empathize with their struggles.

While the series is compelling, I believe that including a fifth episode focusing on the aftermath of the incident would have provided a stronger climax. This would have allowed for a more comprehensive exploration of the consequences and the long-term impact on the characters and the community.

Overall, The Railway Men is a wonderful series that combines excellent cinematography, great acting performances, and a thought-provoking storyline. It sheds light on the complexities of government operations and the importance of timely decisions. I highly recommend this series to anyone seeking a gripping and impactful viewing experience.

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.
