Vivek Agnihotri’s much-anticipated directorial venture, ‘The Vaccine War,’ seems to grapple with a tough box office journey, earning a mere Rs 50 lakh on its seventh day in theaters.
Mixed Reviews And Lackluster Performance
The film, which hit theaters on September 28, received a lukewarm response from both audiences and critics alike. Despite featuring a star-studded cast including Anupam Kher, Nana Patekar, Sapthami Gowda, and Pallavi Joshi, ‘The Vaccine War’ failed to make a significant impact on its opening day, collecting just Rs 1.3 crore.
Struggling Collections
The film is struggling to break even with a production budget of Rs 10 crore. Despite its noble theme of paying tribute to the dedication of the medical fraternity and scientists during the COVID-19 pandemic, the movie’s earnings have been far from impressive. As of October 4, the film’s total box office collection stands at Rs 8.15 crore. Unfortunately, the downward trend continued, with the film managing to gather only Rs 50 lakh on that day. The overall occupancy rate in the Hindi belt was a mere 10.06 percent, signaling a fading presence in theaters.
Behind The Scenes Of “The Vaccine War”
‘The Vaccine War’ explores the untold stories of Indian scientists and their relentless efforts behind the development of the indigenous Covid-19 vaccine, Covaxin. Marketed as ‘India’s first bio-science film,’ the movie delves into the sacrifices and triumphs of the Indian scientific community during the pandemic.
All About The Vaccine War
Despite its significant subject matter, ‘The Vaccine War’ is finding it challenging to resonate with the audience. With stiff competition from other releases like ‘Fukrey 3’ and ‘Chandramukhi 2,’ the film faces the imminent risk of being pulled from theaters. While commendable in its intent, Vivek Agnihotri’s directorial venture seems to be losing the box office battle. As ‘The Vaccine War’ navigates its turbulent journey at the box office, the question lingers: Will it manage to bounce back or succumb to the challenges it faces?
The film’s depiction of India’s fight against the pandemic and the creation of Covaxin certainly holds significance, yet it struggles to resonate with the masses. As the curtains may close on its theatrical run, the fate of ‘The Vaccine War’ remains uncertain. Will it be a phoenix rising from the ashes or a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of the entertainment industry? Only time will tell in this dramatic saga of cinema.
