OTT Web Series The Railway Men won the Best Dialogue Award

The web series The Railwaymen, which portrays the Bhopal gas disaster, has garnered global acclaim. It recently won the 'Best Dialogue Award' at the Screenwriters Association Awards. Directed by Shiv Rawail and produced by Yash Raj Films, the series, which debuted on Netflix on November 18, 2023, stars Madhavan and KK Menon.

The series, spanning four episodes, effectively captures the tragedy of the 1984 Bhopal gas disaster, where a chemical leak at Union Carbide India Limited led to thousands of deaths and widespread illness. The railway authorities' heroic efforts to evacuate affected people are poignantly depicted, emphasizing their risk and dedication.

Notable performances by Babil Khan, Juhee Chawla, Mandira Bedi, S. Hinduja, and Divyendu Bhattacharya further enhance the emotional impact. A memorable line from the first episode, "The common man's life is cheaper than pulses and salt in our country," resonates deeply, reflecting the series' powerful dialogue and storytelling.
