The Vaccine War

It is very tough to make a coherent and engaging film on an esoteric, yet relevant topic, such as making vivid vaccination. Kudos to Vivek Agnihotri for getting it executed well, for the most part.

Based on the book Going Viral by Dr Balaram Bhargava, the head of ICMR, Vaccine War (VW) shows the challenges to culmination in a chronological manner, of the drive to produce an indigenous vaccine for the dreaded Corona.

It could have done well with better editing. This is my only sore issue with the film.

There are interweaving shots of family and professional lives, of the scientists. After a point, they feel forced and take you away from the central theme.

There are several shots, several times, which show people just nodding heads during meetings.

The politicking bit, with a journalist going after the vaccination to show the government of the day in poor light showcases Agnihotri's established political leanings. This bit is acted well by Raima Sen, who vamps impressively.

Nana Patekar is at the top of the game in most bits.

I liked it. Recommended for the intellectually curious.

The vaccine war is excellant movie. You will not bored I feel the pain of scientist who worked really hard in COVID times. In this movie you get to know how internal people want to do propoganda for to buy phyzier vaccine. They forced Indian government but Indian government didn't buy and create first ever indian vaccine whose effiency is far better than moderna and phyzier vaccine. If you haven't watched this movie pls go and watch best movie best screenplay full of emotions starcast awesome. Everybody played their role very well. I loved this movie family movie go with you family friends and children.

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.

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!

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.
