The Railway Men: The Untold Story of Bhopal 1984

I am half way through this series, and am thoroughly enjoying it. The actors are all great and well cast, the story is compelling and it has been filmed well. Background music sets the right tone, and as you can imagine, the story builds in tension and is, deeply sad. I cannot imagine the horror of this type of experience. I really wnjoy series and films with well crafted characters, and with each unique character in this series you quickly get a sense of their temperament and personalities, which allows us to empathise fully with the characters, even if for some we would rather not. Netflix doesn't always get it right, but this is a series they invested in well, and it shows. A solid 9/10.

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...

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.

Railway Men: A Riveting Chronicle of Heroism Amidst the Bhopal Tragedy and its Lingering Impact. The series stands out with stellar performances from KK Menon, Babil, Munna Bhaiya, and R Madhavan, who bring the narrative to life. The reality of 15-20k lives lost due to a gas leak leaves a profound impact, urging viewers to delve into the unfolding drama.

The storyline takes a poignant turn as it unravels the valiant efforts of railway men, preventing the ominous transformation of Bhopal station into a graveyard. The collaborative assistance from neighboring railway stations adds a layer of community resilience in the face of adversity.

However, the series doesn't shy away from exposing the callousness of Union Carbide. Their failure to offer timely help, coupled with attempts to conceal the extent of the disaster, paints a grim picture of corporate negligence. The unfathomable repercussions of their actions continue to haunt Bhopal, with children grappling with enduring health issues even today.

The narrative takes a somber turn as it explores the aftermath, shedding light on the fact that the CEO of Union Carbide remained unpunished until death. This stark reality serves as a chilling reminder of the systemic failures that allowed such tragedies to go unanswered.

Furthermore, the series peels back the layers of the chemical reaction that led to the disaster. The lethal combination of MIC (methyl isocyanate) and H2O is explored, illustrating how a seemingly simple chemical reaction can have catastrophic consequences, costing lives and leaving a lasting imprint on a community.

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.
