The Vaccine War (2023)

Review by vivchopra

The Vaccine War

10/10

"The Vaccine War" - An Epic Tribute to Indian Science and Resilience

"The Vaccine War" is an absolute triumph in the world of cinema, a masterpiece that showcases the maturation of Vivek Agnihotri's storytelling prowess.

It deftly unravels the remarkable journey of Indian scientists in achieving a groundbreaking feat - the creation of a Covid-19 vaccine for India. The film courageously delves into the scientists' struggles, the daunting challenges they faced, and the relentless conspiracy orchestrated by certain media houses and journalists to undermine the excellence of Indian Science. Yet, against all odds, these doctors and scientists, like true heroes, surmounted the obstacles and gifted humanity with a lifesaving vaccine in record time.

The storytelling is a mesmerizing tapestry that weaves together a narrative of pride for Indian scientists, leaving you in sheer awe. But it's not just the plot that shines; the background music and soundscapes become characters themselves, evolving with the movie. In moments of silence, the music and sounds breathe life into the scenes, invoking powerful emotions and even sending shivers down your spine.

The cinematography is an absolute standout, with breathtaking shots and expertly framed characters. It perfectly captures the tense atmosphere where needed, evoking memories of the pandemic period we all lived through. The film's beautiful camera work is nothing short of a pleasant surprise.

"The Vaccine War" effectively highlights the success of the Indian government and its administrative prowess. It portrays the synergy of various government departments working in an organized manner, showcasing the administrative strength of India. In a departure from the stereotypical portrayal of government offices in Bollywood, the movie accurately depicts the real state of government affairs. Kudos to the art director for painting this accurate picture.

The film subtly emphasizes the essence of Indian culture, where even lab rats and monkeys are respected during vaccine experiments, reflecting the Sanatani way of Indian culture. It's a poignant reminder of the values instilled in us - to respect every living being, as divinity resides in all, be it insects, animals, or humans.

The inclusion of Dr. Abdul Kalam's image and Indian scriptures and symbols in various scenes underscores the role of the Indian faith system in providing guidance and light during times of internal conflicts and confusion.

The dialogues are nothing short of amazing and will keep you captivated, especially those delivered by the venerable Nana Patekar. The film ensures that you remain engaged from start to finish.

In summary, "The Vaccine War" is a must-watch, offering an abundance of knowledge and inspiration. It encourages young minds to stand up for Indian doctors, scientists, and the country's administration, making it a cinematic gem that leaves a lasting impact.
