WION's review of The Vaccine War
WION's Shomini Sen wrote in her review that the film made the media the biggest villain of the plot.
"The story of India's medical officers and scientists working relentlessly to find the country's indigenous Covaxin vaccine is truly inspirational. It needs to be talked about and celebrated. But Agnihotri ever so often slips a jargon or a propaganda or two about the government, its achievements, and its ideology in the narrative. When it isn't showcasing the current government's great achievements, the film is bashing those who dare to question the system," wrote Sen in her review.
The Vaccine War features Nana Patekar, Sapthami Gowda, Raima Sen, Anupam Kher and Pallavi Joshi as lead characters. Produced by Pallavi Joshi and I Am Buddha, the film was released in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu on 28th September 2023.
