Vivek Agnihotri’s The Vaccine War Running Out Of Theatre Already ?
The Kashmir Files maker Vivek Ranjam Agnihotri”s movie The Vaccine War could not meet the threshold of success his previous movie had brought in. The Vaccine War is at the end in its theatrical run, according to reports.
Mr. Agnihotri won National Award for the Kashmir files. This has made the audience “curious” about what the film maker have in store for them in The Vaccine War. The movie was released on September 28. Nana Patekar, Anupam Kher and Pallavi Joshi plays key roles in the movie.
The Vaccine War deals with the vaccine battle the country had faced during the Covid 19 pandemic. The movie shows how health care workers and locals alike fought the war against the invisible enemy. The movie also speaks about the issues faced by the scientist in order to mould an effective vaccine for the deadly virus and several other stories that happened “behind the curtain”.
So far, the movie has bagged Rs. 8.80 crore. On its 9th day since release, the movie has gained only 20 lakhs. The Vaccine War was released along with Fukrey 3, Thank You For Coming and Akshay Kumar movie Mission Raniganj. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has praised Mr. Agnihotri for his effort in highlighting the stories of scientists and their struggle to bring out a vaccine for the corona virus. Since PM Modi has praised the movie, it is not decided yet whether all the hopes for the movie in theatres is still over.
The Kashmir Files, which was allegedly to be made as a propaganda movie, had hit a whopping success and was nominated for several awards. But Mr. Agnihotri declined the “unethical and anti-cinema” awards. The 68th Filmfare Awards had nominated The Kashmir Files for seven times. Mr. Agnihotri” explaination to the reason behind his refusal to take part in the award ceremony was that such award ceremonies are ” oppressive and corrupt” as they see writers, directors and other crew members of a film as “inferior to and/or as slaves to stars”.
