The Vaccine War is about a group of scientists who face many challenges while making a vaccine when the entire world including India was crippled by the Coronavirus in 2020.
To give credit where it is due, Vivek is successful in staging some good emotional moments. Most of these moments are concerning the characters played by Pallavi Joshi and Girija Oak.
The struggles of the women scientists in balancing their professional and personal duties are shown well by the director. He also gives some nice emotional touches to Nana Patekar.
Another big problem with The Vaccine War is the characterisation of journalist Rohini Singh Dhulia. This is not the first film which is guilty of portraying the media in a negative light.
Rohini Singh occupies more space than needed, and also has a constant smirk on her face which is irritating to watch. There is no second layer in her characterisation or performance.
