Couple of brilliant knocks with plenty of bad misses. Could have been an excellent epic movie but overall turned out to be an average one. Tried to show a lot of things in a chaotic manner which lacked finesse. Pee Cee was sometimes good, specially the training period. The director seemed totally confused and lacked focus. There were plenty things which were over done like too much of useless aggression which could have been shown in a better way, people spoke in manipuri Hindi accent and again the same suddenly had a flawless Hindi outburst and the worst was Pee Cee in sweet 16 school uniform ... sorry utterly unaccepted. Its a good one time watch though, has all the content of a typical family weekend movie with love, inspiration, Patriotism and sportsmanship which again could have been like the outstanding "Rocky Balboa" types .... but sadly not, as I said a big disappointment !!!
Good film about 'Mary Kom'.
It takes the usual liberties that biopics tend to do, but this film does it well as the story it produces is very interesting. It arguably should be around 20-30 minutes shorter, but I still found the pacing to be fine - the progression through her boxing career itself helps keep things rolling.
Priyanka Chopra does a grand job in the lead role, while Sunil Thapa supports astutely as Singh. Darshan Kumar is also solid as Onler. The acting in general is satisfactory. The music suits proceedings, also.
You don't need to be a sports fan to enjoy this. Worthy of a watch.

I went to watch the movie with a feeling that it will be a disappointment...Coz the promos were way to commercialised...But Just like M C Mary Kom.....The movie came out to be a huge surprise....The barfee gal...again showed....no one could have portrayed the living legend better....Set on the background of beautiful Manipur, the movie started with a pregnant mary being rushed to hospital by her husband Amisdt riot...It took a flashback, where a wild Manipuri girl,bashing guys, was trying to have a name in the male dominated society.....Chungnejiang was wild, not focused and raw...Priyanka never missed a single part to portray the legend's wilderness..From a farmer to World champion...It was never an easy task...Co-incidence bought that wild lady to the boxing arena, where her stubborness earned her a place in boxing...from there she was coached by yet another Stubborn but levelheaded coach of Manipuri boxing fed....She won back to back three world championship....got married, had kids and was forgotten...But no one can stop legends...with the help of yet another magnificent man, her husband, She fought back to earn a name, her name, her place....From there she won two more world championship and to make us very proud,She won India her first Olympic female Bronze medal in boxing at 2012....
With such an inspiring story, magnificent star cast, appropriate songs, Dropdead gorgeous background and those essence from My NorthEast...Indeed the movie was grand....ANd by the end scene , I promise when u will stand up for the national anthem , u will shed tears of joy....and pride...Mary Kom is all about Struggle and Survival...

What's Good: Priyanka Chopra's career best performance. What's Bad: Dramatic climax.
Bollywood always follow a trend of success.Since past few years the most successful genre is Bio-pics like Chak De India, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and now Mary Kom.This year only countable good movies have entertained us and most of them are women-oriented like Queen, Mardaani, Mary Kom.It seems like these women-oriented flicks are coming out at right time, as i have witnessed during the screening after the last punch the ladies gave standing ovation to Mary Kom.Mary Kom is about how a poor girl from Manipur made her way to top against all odds.Her struggle, her passion, her madness, her love towards Boxing made her 5 times world champion.Mary Kom might not be the best movie as it contains many flaws but still it stands strong just because of Priyanka Chopra's superb performance.She has held entire movie on her shoulder, she has given more than 100% for this bio-pic.
Performances wise its only and only Priyanka Chopra. She is totally into the character and this is by far her career best performance.Supporting cast like Darshan Kumar, Sunil Thapa,etc are nice. Omang Kumar's direction is decent but it could have been better looking to the hold of the script. Music goes with the flow, cinematography is top-notch.
Overall its a feel pride movie. Can surely recommend one-time watch.

This movie is a huge disappointment. Billed up to be one of the most heart wrenching tales of winning against all odds, the result was a very highly dramatized offering. A good parameter to judge biopics is how much the viewer feels inspired after watching it and this film fails miserably on that account. Right from the start, the supposed hardships of Mary Kom do not ring true at all, thereby making it extremely hard to root for the protagonist.Though in the second half, this is somewhat salvaged by portraying the problems of a mother of two making a comeback to the coaching arena. Add to that the dramatization of many elements, making the whole movie feel very unnatural. The boxing scenes themselves are very bland and we rarely feel the tension that usually accompanies matches in good sport-movies.
Expectedly, Priyanka Chopra carries the movie and gives a good sincere performance. If only the role had been a bit more of substance, she could have taken it to greater heights. All the supporting characters, particularly the husband, though relatively unknown play their parts well.
First time director Omung Kumar should have worked a lot in making a tighter script. The dialogues are also very uninspiring. The effort of making a biopic on a woman sports person is appreciable but the result is not.
P.S: The product placements of various brands in the movie is really annoying.
