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.

The vaccine war is a drama thriller film directed by vivek agnihotri.

This film has many positive points. First being the performances, you cannot find fault in anyone's performance. Nana patekar again plays the quintessential leader of the group with thorough determination. Pallavi joshi brings a warmth into the film, so does girija oak and nivedita bhattacharya. The women cast did wonders in this film.

The film celebrates india's health workers and the medical wonders india pulled during covid-19. The medical terms and scientific learnings are not oversimplified for the sake of audience. The film treats its audience smart and knowledgeable. The dialogues are also praiseworthy.

But, the film fails to differentiate between its health officials and the government. It treats the victory of health workers as the victory of the government, papering over all cracks that were visible during the days in medical facilities, transportation and the dire situation that the people were in. It is like america making a film on atom bomb and not even mentioning the state of japan. It seems ignorant.

The background music is on tricky spaces. The parts in the drama portion work but during the trials, the use of heavy breathing sound did not serve the purpose. It seemed haphazardly engineered and sounded out of place. The cinematography is good.

The film completely villainizes the media, showing them in a negative light. I guess, it needed some good writing to go the grey line. Instead of negative, the characters could have been grey and human.

Exposes the hypocrisy of many so called "journalists" and applauds the scientists who dedicated there lives in the tough times of Covid to serve humanity, many even losing their lives for the cause. The film was well made and the actors and actresses all performed well, but specially Nana and Pallavi. The specified timelines were also in narration as it was based on the book "Going Viral: Making of Covaxin" by Dr Balram Bhargava. I can for sure say that many people will now know that being in the field of medical research is not as easy we all thought of.

The only problem I felt was the lack of subtitles, specially of the regional languages, when it comes to the dialogues being delivered in english.

As is the norm after TASHKENT FILES,the filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri, has once again made a hard hitting and sensible movie based on actual facts with competent acting by almost everyone.

The takeaway(for me) from this movie was that up today we have this dreadfully dreadful situation where many Indians(for various reasons) are hell bent on disgracing their own motherland India for their own selfishly selfish motives and in turn don't hesitate to serve the vested interests of foreign countries which are intensely jealous of India's successes in different fields.

This movie needs to be judged in a different light as it does not seek to entertain the viewer,but to enlighten us from an Indian perspective,on what really happened during the Covid 19 crisis 8/10.

Don't miss. It's not a film it's reality. It helps you get awareness on false narrative and info war. Very entertaining and keeps you connected throughout. Everyone has done a great job. It was amazing to see Nana on screen after long time. OMG..Raima Sen! She has killed it. Vivek has taken a very safe path and tried his best to stay away from controversies. Lot more political aspects could have been shown. A small glimpse of Modi ji would have added more power to the film. But still 💯 times better than nepowood masala film. Very well researched and big thank you to all medical and science fraternity for helping the world during COVID.
