Murty was impressed with the film and called it "heart-touching." She also praised the film's portrayal of female scientists and their role in developing the vaccine.
"I do understand the role of a woman because she is a mother, wife and a career person. It is very hard to balance your family and work. Some people are fortunate. In my case, my parents lived downstairs and I lived upstairs, so I could do better. But, everyone doesn't have that," Murty said.
"It is not easy for a woman to pursue a career with children. She requires good family support. I always say, ‘Behind every successful woman, there is an understanding man, otherwise she cannot do it."

Murty also talked about how the female scientists worked hard during the pandemic while their children stayed at home.
"In this film, children were small, but they will be proud of their mother and what she has done."
According to Murty, 'The Vaccine War' will show people how vaccines against the deadly disease were made in India.
"Common man won’t understand what is Covaxin but this movie clearly shows the effort. It is not just work; it is selfless work that all these scientists did. They spent maximum time in this period so that we all can live in a democratic India, happily and healthily. That’s a very important message,” she said.
Murty also talked about how Indians were enslaved for years and have lost their identity and have failed to recognise their potential.
“We have tremendous potential, but that is not unleashed because we are always worried that ‘we won’t be able to do it’. But we can do it. That is the message. Not in the medical field only, but in any field, we can do it.
"We should believe in ourselves. The beauty is not in clothes or makeup. It is in the courage and confidence that we have. You have shown here that the real wealth is our confidence. Please unleash your potential, all Indians. Be ethical, be hardworking and be proud that you are Indian,” Murty concluded.
'The Vaccine War' stars Nana Patekar, Pallavi Joshi, Raima Sen, Anupam Kher and Sapthami Gowda in pivotal roles. The movie will release in theatres on September 28.
