Mary Kom Movie Review and Rating
Mary Kom is the biopic of the famous Indian women boxer Mary Kom. This movie which is directed by Omung Kumar has certainly raised the anticipations among the audience. It is always a difficult path when directing a biopic of famous personalities as the slightest of the slightest mistakes will go terribly wrong.

Brief story :
The movie Mary Kom gives us ample insight into the life and struggle of Mary Kom. But, there are a lot of loopholes in the script. It neither focused exactly on the boxing , or on the life of the boxer. At times the plot becomes utterly tiresome. Not to forget the awkward branding of IODEX, Sugarfree and Tata Salt in the later-half of the film. Omung Kumar gave a good shot with his debut film, but with the formulaic plot , it turned out to be just another forgettable biopic on a world champion.
Plus points :
- Priyanka chopra as Mary Kom does an outstanding job.
- Darshan Kumar who plays Mary’s husband – Onler, also gives a commendable performance.
- The music of the film by Shashi-Shivamm has a tribal-contemporary fusion touch to it.
- The cinematography of Keiko Nakahara is rich.
Rating : 3.5/5
The story shows how the country writes her off and the pressures on her and her family to have her quit. And then it is shown how she makes a comeback and wins accolades, along with taking care of family and children.
Watch the film to know more about the world champion. Even though the film does justice to Mary Kom only halfway through, watch the film for Priyanka Chopra’s acting prowess. This lady can sure knock you off. There are real hardcore punching and training sessions, which might inspire you to head towards the gym asap.
