About The Vaccine War

The Vaccine War, dubbed "India's first bio-science film," describes the battle faced by Indian scientists as they worked to develop the Covid-19 vaccine. It also highlights Indian researchers who are working round-the-clock in labs to discover a coronavirus treatment. Nana Patekar, Pallavi Joshi, Raima Sen, Anupam Kher, Girija Oak, Nivedita Bhattacharya, Sapthami Gowda, and Mohan Kapur are among the actors who star in the film.

OTTplay’s review of The Vaccine War reads: "The Vaccine War is a must watch for everyone. The film is an ode to every individual ranging from the team of scientists, their families to the security guards to everyone else who have contributed in some way or the other through their services and expertise. It is because of everyone's collective efforts, which made India become successful in creating its very own indigenous vaccine, that proved to be a life saver for countless people all over."
