The Vaccine War box office prediction

While speaking about the box office collection of The Vaccine War, trade analyst Sumit Kadel said, "The Vaccine War could grow over time if the reception is good. But as far as the opening is concerned, it will not do as well as The Kashmir Files or The Kerala Story. It’ll open in the range of Rs 3-4 crores. It’ll reach the Rs 5 crore mark only if the reviews are favourable. With this, it could do Rs 35-40 crore over the extended weekend. It has a very small budget. I have heard that the film was made only with a budget of Rs 12 crore, so even if it makes Rs 25-30 crore at the box office, it’ll be a hit."
