The Vaccine War, directed by Vivek Agnihotri, has a lackluster first weekend at the box office, taking in only Rs 1.3 crore.

The Vaccine War, the most recent film from Vivek Agnihotri, debuted to a meager Rs 1.3 crore at the box office. Given its contemporary and pertinent subject matter, the movie, which depicts the tale of India's battle against the COVID-19 pandemic, was anticipated to fare well at the box office.

Critics have, however, given the movie mixed reviews, with some appreciating its objectives and performances and others condemning its over-the-top tone and theatrical execution. It's probable that the movie's conflicting critical reception has affected how poorly it did at the box office.

Additionally, it is important to keep in mind that the Indian film industry is now dealing with a variety of difficulties, such as increased production and marketing costs as well as a fall in ticket sales. This might have also contributed to The Vaccine War's underwhelming opening day results.

It is still too early to predict whether The Vaccine War will be a financial success at the box office despite its underwhelming start. In the upcoming days and weeks, the movie might gain steam, particularly if viewers give it favorable word-of-mouth. However, given its conflicting reviews and the difficulties the Indian film industry is undergoing, it's also feasible that the movie may continue to have trouble at the box office.
