The Vaccine War

"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 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.

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.

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.

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!
