The
Vaccine
War
First
Review:
After
the
record-breaking
success
of
his
last
directorial
venture
The
Kashmir
Files,
ace
filmmaker
Vivek
Agnihotri
is
all
set
to
entertain
fans
with
his
next
film
titled
The
Vaccine
War.
Touted
as
a
medical
thriller,
the
film's
story
is
rooted
in
the
real-life
events
surrounding
the
creation
of
Covaxin
amid
the
COVID-19
pandemic
in
India.
Featuring
Nana
Patekar,
Pallavi
Joshi,
Anupam
Kher,
Raima
Sen,
Mohan
Kapur,
Girija
Oak,
Sapthami
Gowda,
and
Nivedita
Bhattacharya
in
pivotal
roles,
The
Vaccine
War
is
"India's
first
bio-science
film" and
moviegoers
are
looking
forward
to
watching
it
on
the
big
screen.
Amid
a
good
buzz
and
high
expectations,
it
is
finally
set
to
hit
the
theatres
tomorrow
(September
28)
and
will
clash
with
Fukrey
3.
Ahead
of
its
release,
the
first
review
of
The
Vaccine
War
is
already
out,
and
as
expected,
the
film
has
received
a
positive
response.
As
the
film's
team
is
gearing
up
for
its
release,
director
Vivek
Agnihotri
took
to
social
media
and
shared
the
screenshot
of
the
first
review
of
The
Vaccine
War.
Recently,
the
movie
was
screened
for
scientists
at
ICMR
-
National
Institute
of
Malaria
Research
(NIMR)
in
Delhi.
One
of
the
scientists,
named
Dr.
Lokesh
Kori,
shared
his
views
about
The
Vaccine
War
after
watching
it
and
called
it
a
'must
watch'.
Yes,
you
read
that
right!
Praising
the
movie,
Kori
wrote,
"A
must-watch
life
experience
for
each
of
us,
science,
scientists,
society,
and
survival.
Attended
special
screening
of
The
Vaccine
War,
thanks
for
the
invitation
ICMR-HQ."
Sharing
the
screenshot,
Vivek
Agnihotri
tweeted,
"A
review
of
#TheVaccineWar
from
the
scientist
of
@icmr_niv.
ADVANCE
BOOKINGS
OPEN
NOW."
Among
Fukrey
3
and
The
Vaccine
War,
the
former
is
leading
as
of
now
when
it
comes
to
Day
1
advance
bookings.
According
to
reports,
Fukrey
3
has
achieved
a
nationwide
gross
ticket
sales
of
1.04
crores
(excluding
blocked
seats),
largely
fueled
by
its
successful
franchise
factor.
The
Vaccine
War,
on
the
other
hand,
is
not
experiencing
significant
pre-booking
response,
with
only
25-30
lakhs
gross
ticket
sales
(excluding
blocked
seats).
Its
fate
now
rests
on
in-person,
over-the-counter
ticket
sales.
Well,
the
same
happened
with
Agnihotri's
last
release
The
Kashmir
Files.
Here's
hoping
that
his
new
film
too
creates
history
at
the
ticket
window.
VIVEK

after
The
Tashkent

and

Kashmir
Files.
