Films and web series about real incidents are always fascinating to look into. Especially when they are telling the story of a time of devastation in history that was caused by human errors, it becomes ever more striking. The Bhopal Gas tragedy was one such incident that left a bloody mark on the history of India in 1984.

The Railway Men looks at the tragedy through the eyes of four men who work for the railways. Kay Kay Menon plays a ticket collector, while Babil Khan just joins the railways as the loco motive pilot. Divyendu Sharma works as a worker at Bhopal Junction. The trailer shows life in Bhopal before the tragedy. Then it moves to show when the gas leak begins.



That's when R. Madhavan comes along, driven by the hope of saving people in this deadly calamity. The mini-series also stars Juhi Chawla, who plays a politician. It is a striking tale of ordinary people coming together to save others who were left helpless due to the tragedy. It is set to release on Netflix on December 18 with all four episodes.
