The Vaccine War

Jai ho! Indian science. Must watch. Film show dedication of indian women and Indian character for science and technology. Reminder of grime time of humanity and how some people used it as opportunities and shame humanity at same time some beautiful minds were at work. Directions, story narration are wonderful. Nana and others were fabulous. High level of research is required for science film and director and his team did it in the it's required. It show reality of 4th pillar of democracy and self appointed guardians and their agenda. Its bog slap to ideological media and their agenda. Must watch! Jai Ho!

Watch with family.

Going to theater after more than a year , when it's a Vivek Agnihotri film you just have to! After watching this film I just want to say thank you to Vivek ji! Only you have the guts to make something like this.

Brings out the most unique subjects with the best execution. He is just getting better and better with each film.

The film keeps you on the edge through out, you just get no time to think in the first half! The film just grips you and takes you on a roller coaster of emotions.

The actors are institution in themselves, Nana ji and Pallavi ji just amazing and Vivek ji succeeds in getting the best out of the newcomers too. If there was anything left the last 5 minutes will completely blow whatever was left of your brain! Just amazing!

"The Vaccine War" is an incredibly thought-provoking and timely movie that sheds light on the complex and crucial issue of vaccine hesitancy. The film does an excellent job of presenting diverse perspectives, allowing viewers to understand the various factors contributing to India's own vaccine development initiative .

The movie highlighted significant role that Indian scientists, researchers (especially women) and pharmaceutical companies have played in the global effort to combat diseases through vaccination. India's contributions to vaccine development and distribution have not only saved countless lives in the country but have also made a major impact on a global scale.

The storytelling is compelling, and the filmmakers have succeeded in creating a balanced and informative narrative that encourages meaningful dialogue.

Kudos to the entire team behind this eye-opening movie. It's a must watch with family.

The Vaccine War review :

Based on the book 'Going Viral' by Prof. Balram Bhargava of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), The Vaccine War narrates the intriguing development of India's indigenous vaccine called Covaxin with all the internal as well as external challenges encountered during its making...

Publicised as India's first bioscience film, producer- director Vivek Agnihotri and team deserve a huge applause for putting the spotlight on our unsung heroes - the scientists at ICMR and National Institute of Virology (NIV), who toiled day and night for months to combat the formidable enemy called Corona. The fact that majority of these scientists were women also makes it a pertinent subject of women power. The film is a must see only for that...

Vivek Agnihotri's political leanings are well known and no surprises, he layers his script with an elaborate sub-plot of an almost evil journalist (Raima Sen) plotting against the desi vaccine on orders of the foreign pharma conglomerates hell bent on arm twisting India. While a particular obscure media portal has indeed been indicted of spreading fake news, there were ten other major media channels promoting the 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' initiative at that time. The Vaccine War forgets this and instead paints the whole media as anti-establishment. In the climax, they are actually equated to terrorists, which is seriously not done!!

Assuredly, the casting is perfect and Nana Patekar and Pallavi Joshi, appearing together after three decades since Trishagni (1989), are truly outstanding. Girija Oak and Sapthami Gowda pitch in sincere performances. It is interesting as well as ironic to watch the extremely pretty Raima Sen in such a vicious role and boy, does she nail it. Kudos!!

The Vaccine War soars and roars till the time it stays true to its source content of how Covaxin was developed in record time and ended up saving countless lives across the globe. The minute it switches gears to the toolkit narrative, it somehow withers and dithers...

Nevertheless, this is a relevant film of our time which leaves us with a positive message that India CAN do it. Covaxin, Chandrayaan, G20... we have seen it happen in last few years. Three cheers to that!!
