A short web series – The Railway Men will soon make its debut on Netflix, and it will tell the story of the sad incident that took place. The Railway Men tells the tale of the incredible bravery shown by the workers of the Indian Railways in Bhopal. The title of the story gives away the plot of the narrative.
On the evening of December 2, 1984, these brave men took on an unseen foe in the sky and fought to preserve the lives of their fellow residents despite the overwhelming odds against them.
The Trailer
The opening scene of the trailer shows Bhopal in 1984, only a few days before the catastrophic gas leak that killed thousands of people. We can see the characters of Divyenndu, a railway police officer, Kay Kay Menon, a senior official with the railways, and Babil Khan, a fresh recruit working under him, going about their daily lives in the film.
The city is then sealed off from the rest of the nation after the devastating gas leak that occurred earlier in the sentence. They have devised a strategy to save as many people as possible by evacuating them from Bhopal. R Madhavan, a senior railway official, seems to be the only one who is concentrating on the evacuation at this point, and he is their last chance.
The trailer highlights how ordinary people can rise to extraordinary obstacles thanks to the fortitude they find in the face of extreme hardship. It reveals the courageous efforts of individuals who toiled night and day to ensure the safety of hundreds of people during the worst industrial disaster in history.
