In 1984, a gas leak broke out at an Indian factory and led to the eventual deaths of over 15,000 people.
Despite its colossal effects, the Bhopal gas tragedy has rarely been depicted on-screen until now. Netflix and Yrf Entertainment’s “The Railway Men: The Untold Story of Bhopal 1984” directed by Shiv Rawail, puts a spotlight on the horrific night of December 2, 1984, when infrastructure and bureacracy paid the price of thousands of human lives.
The gas leak occurred at a pesticide factory just outside city limits, where a tank of methyl isocyanate (Mic) was exposed to water, which led to a rapid exothermic reaction. Due to poor factory conditions and maintenance, various safeguards against a catastrophic leak failed, and the toxic gas spread from the factory to the city and the surrounding area.

Netflix and leading Indian studio Yash Raj Films (Yrf) have set a multi-year creative partnership.
The two entities will “collaborate to create films and series to bring defining stories to audiences in India and across the world,” they said in a statement.
The partnership will kick off with four-part thriller series “The Railway Men,” a previously-announced tribute to the unsung heroes of the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy. A cloud of toxic gas escaped from an American pesticide plant, in 1984, in the central Indian city of Bhopal. It killed and injured thousands of people. The protagonists of “The Railway Men” are workers at the Bhopal railway station who saved thousands of lives. It is the first production from Yrf Entertainment, the studio’s streaming production arm.
The cast is led by R. Madhavan (“Rocketry”), Kay Kay Menon (“Bambai Meri Jaan”), Divyenndu Sharma (“Mirzapur”), emerging talent Babil Khan (“Friday Night Plan”) and Sunny Hinduja...
