... View MoreWow! Such a good movie.
... View MoreAn absolute waste of money
... View MoreThere are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
... View MoreI like how she proves to herself and others that she is strong. Very Inspirational to women in other countries who also want to do boxing. It is possible, and do not let anyone be sexist against you. This woman fought hard even though she got married and had children. That is so awesome how she worked hard. Not many mothers do that. That one guy she tried to straighten up was an a**hole but once again the movie is awesome. I did not understand the beginning when it first opened but now I have an idea why the movie turned out to foreshadow the rest of the movie. In the movie she battles with her family and lost touch with her own coach or mentor because he really wanted her to focus on her passion and career but she had to get married or else other drama would start. Even when she tried to convince him that she will be back and nothing will stop her, he still let her go until months later he sees her again trying to box.
... View MoreA lost opportunity to create India's Million Dollar Baby. Mary Kom is supposedly a sports biopic on the life of ace boxer Mary Kom from Manipur (the only Indian female to be 5 times world champion). However, after one finishes watching the movie it turns out to be a conspiracy by Priyanka Chopra and Omung Kumar to leverage the name of an ace boxer to develop an action packed cinematic entertainment. The movie itself sets disclaimer that it is based on life events of Mary Kom not the life of Mary Kom. Priyanka Chopra tried hard to get into the boxing gloves but her glamour still resonates vividly in the movie (cosmetic usage, etc). The movie exemplifies dramatic experience by trying to mimic Rocky (hand movement gesture after winning matched), Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (training at Manali). On various occasions as she wins the titles, Priyanka jumps like an excited child, now whoever has watched Mary Kom boxing or any boxing match for that matter would know how strenuous it is after the match has ended and the boxer is hardly able to stand. Another big turnoff is poor product placements by Havmor, Tata Salt, Iodex, Sugar-free, etc. Havmor is an extreme blooper which shows an outlet in Manipur when it is hardly present outside Gujarat, Rajasthan and Maharashtra. Mary Kom is also burdened by immaterial songs rendering the movie cinematic and uninspired.Only satisfaction from the movie would be if it inspires few females to take up professional sporting career. Mary Kom could have been made with an entire Manipuri cast or as documentary film.
... View MoreMary Kom is a 2014 Indian biographical sports drama film directed by Omung Kumar and produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The film is a biopic about five-times female World Boxing Champion and Olympic bronze medalist Mary Kom, following her story from her childhood in India to her victory at the 2008 World Boxing Championships in Ningbo City. The story and screenplay were written by Saiwyn Quadras, who also suggested the storyline to Kumar for his directorial debut.The film stars Priyanka Chopra in the lead role as the boxer Mary Kom, with Darshan Kumar and Sunil Thapa supporting as her husband, Onler Kom and M. Narjit Singh respectively/Most of the movie is totally fictional,bearing no resemblance to reality and that too not portrayed properly,a huge disappointment...
... View MoreI really liked the movie very much but I will list the flaws firstRidiculous product placement that are too obvious.The makers don't event try to hide that they have placed advertisements in the movie. Too many clichés from all sports films.We can find all the usual dramatizations of sports like a villainous opponent,hero(ine) falling and rasing just before end to win the match etc.may be just two but these are really spoilers for the movieThe good thing about the movie. Priyanka Chopra's Acting . The character of Mary Kom. Beautiful picturization of Mizoram. Mary Kom is a very powerful character and Priyanka Chopra does justice for the character.Her portrayal of mother torn between sons and career is amazing.
