The Vaccine War Review: Nana Patekar Delivers An Excellent Performance In This Film Which Is A Must-Watch

The Vaccine War Review: It's been a really long time since we have seen Nana Patekar on the big screen. He was last seen in the Tamil movie Kaala which was released in 2018. Now, after five years, the actor is back with Vivek Agnihotri's The Vaccine War. The movie also stars Pallavi Joshi, Girija Oak, Nivedita Bhattacharya, Sapthami Gowda, Raima Sen, and Anupam Kher. The Vaccine War has hit the big screens today, so is it worth your time and money? Read our review below to know that...

The Vaccine War revolves around the scientists of the Indian Council of Medical Research and NIV (National Institute of Virology), and how they created India's first vaccine for Covid, Covaxin. While we have read, heard, and watched (in the news) about this Vaccine, Vivek Agnihotri's film gives us proper details about what actually happened during those days, and how the vaccine was made.

The film is based on the book 'Going Viral' by Dr. Balram Bhargava. The character of Dr. Bhargava is played by Nana Patekar and The Vaccine War showcases how Dr. Bhargava was already concerned about the virus even before it majorly affected the country. The film progresses like we are reading a book. Every part of the film, just like a book has different chapters.

Vivek Agnihotri's film showcases that while we were sitting inside our houses, there was a team of scientists working day and night to create the vaccine and save people. There are sequences that keep you on the edge of the seat as you will be keen to know what will happen next. Also, some emotional scenes will make your eyes moist, and not to forget, this film will make you feel proud of our country and our scientists.

In the second half, the film does drop a bit and the pace becomes slow. But, once again it picks up wonderfully during the pre-climax scenes, and the climax will surely make you applaud this movie.

When it comes to performances, let's start with Nana Patekar. It's a treat to watch the veteran actor on the big screen after such a long time, but the wait has surely been worth it. He is excellent as Dr. Bhargava, and of course, the way he mouths dialogues will surely put a smile on your face. Pallavi Joshi once again delivers a wonderful performance and it is hard to imagine any other actress in this role.

Girija Oak and Nivedita Bhattacharya, both actresses are fantastic in their respective roles and will get tears in your eyes. Sapthami Gowda has less screen time compared to other actors, but she is good in her role, and Anupam Kher is impressive in his cameo. Raima Sen also puts up a good act in the film.

The music of The Vaccine War is good, and whenever Nasadiya Sukta plays in the background it will give you goosebumps.

Overall, The Vaccine War is a film that will make you proud of our country and our scientists. It's a very informative film narrated in an entertaining and engaging way. It's a must-watch!
