    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.

    Refresh Renewed and Railways

    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.

    Wow ...it's the best series of this year

    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.

    Raw truth full of agony

    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.

    Great for lovers of drama or disaster type series

    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.
