Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Menon and Khan give terrific performances... Rated: 3/5 Nov 22, 2023 Full Review Saibal Chatterjee NDTV The Railway Men is buoyed by a clutch of laudable performances and storytelling that does not slide below a certain level of competence. But it could have been much, much more. Rated: 2.5/5 Nov 22, 2023 Full Review Radhika Menon Decider While the series occasionally feels overstuffed by characters, its storytelling heart remains true to honoring the men that saved thousands in Bhopal in 1984. Nov 21, 2023 Full Review Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut These themes remain prescient since technological advances not only create more ways in which miraculous things can be achieved but also more ways in which things can go calamitously wrong. Rated: 4/5 Nov 18, 2023 Full Review Pramit Chatterjee Digital Mafia Talkies The Railway Men pretends it’s a very serious miniseries about the Bhopal disaster and the anti-Sikh riots, even though it’s not. If you want to pretend along with it, go ahead and watch the show. Rated: 2/5 Nov 18, 2023 Full Review Akhil Arora AkhilArora.com Despite running for just four hourlong episodes—shorter than both Chernobyl and Trial by Fire—it suffers from severe padding issues, is disjointed and partly over-the-top, and feels like it lasts forever.

DV S Good story telling! Kay kay menon, Babil, Madhavan and Divyenndu, all were good. The length of the series was good and it was interesting and sad to see the situation of Bhopal Gas tragedy. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/29/25 Full Review Anirudh S This was an amazing show. The acting was top-quality, the production and set design was superb, and the story and characters were amazingly written. The tragedy that this was based on is perfectly relived and shown with nail-biting horror, making this a must-watch for everyone. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/30/23 Full Review Michael W This miniseries was really good. Babil Khan, Kay Kay Menon, R. Madhavan, Divyenndu, and the rest of the cast did a great job in this miniseries. This true story of the men who helped many people in Bhopal, India escape the city from dying after a gas leak at the Union Carbide factory was dramatic, inspirational, and heroic. It's about doing the right thing when people with power won't. If you haven't seen this miniseries yet, check it out sometime. It's a must see. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/07/23 Full Review John P Basically an Indian version of the show Chernobyl. Historical plot was interesting, but then the storytelling got too complex and unbelievable. Would have been good if there weren't 10 separate side plots/character storylines happening at once. Got cheesy and corny the last two episodes. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
