After the stupendous success of The Kashmir Files, director Vivek Agnihotri is back with yet another engaging film that shows the sacrifices of doctors and scientists in The Vaccine war. Needless to say, the COVID-19 pandemic was the toughest for them as they had to make a vaccine with limited time. Each day, every minute was crucial for these brave hearts. Vivek's in-depth research and never-before-heard challenges depict the hardships of these Corona warriors.
The film shows the story of the scientists from the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) who worked to develop India's first vaccine during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The film sheds light on the challenges and struggles the medical fraternity overcame during the course of making the vaccine.
In a nutshell, the movie shows the growth of medical science, how technology in India has widened and the faith in doctors as to why doctors are considered God in India.
Vaccine War perfectly talks about science, hope, faith, victory and how India battled coronavirus with vaccine.
Fans applaud Vivek Agnihotri's The Vaccine War
Moviegoers get a dose of nostalgia as they travel back to 2020 and 2021 when everything began.
