Mary Kom - Movie Reviews
I was moist-eyed with tears of pride, joy and vindication. If this film can evoke so many emotions, it is definitely a must watch
I would have liked if the film didn't so shamelessly exploit my patriotic sentiments to afford it respect in its final scene''I would have liked something much more than this mediocre account of a magnificent reality
I'm going with two-and-a-half out of five for "Mary Kom". It's perfectly watchable, but never great like it should've been.
Super Mary Kom, Super Priyanka Chopra, unexceptional biopic
It’s a story of grit, passion and, as Mary’s coach says, "hamesha whole surrender to boxing
Sadly magnificent Mary loses herself in the maleficent trappings of Bollywood floss.
Too excited to wait till her husband is out of the shower, she relays the information to him even as he cranks open the bathroom door a little, still dripping wet, to respond to the news
Half Knockout…
It's rare to see a biopic about a person who is still young and rocking - most tend to relive a faded legend's past
For a five-time world boxing champion, Mary Kom surely deserved a far more imposing Bollywood tribute.
After the heart-rending story of Milkha Singh was captured successfully on the big screen in the form of ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’, the next athlete whose story had to be captured on celluloid is Mary Kom

Mary Kom, directed by Omung Kumar, is a fiercely melodramatic representation of a life too large, multilayered and complex, to be effective in 120 screen minutes
Rahul Desai,
Mumbai Mirror
Director Omung Kumar’s Mary Kom is a highly fictionalised account of what actually happened, and in the process it turned out to be one of those films which are made just for whistles and quick money.

Making a biopic on a living legend is never an easy task. Add to it the fact that we are speaking of a movie that is directed by a debut director in India, with a story that is based on a sport, and that the story itself is based in a much-neglected part

Not quite the biopic that Mary Kom deserves, yet watchable. For the ones who want better, just read her book!

MC Mary Kom is one such Indian sportsperson who will go down in history as one of the most successful Indian sportsperson and certainly the most successful and revered sportswoman
Indicine
But the main reason why Mary Kom appeals is because it doesn't just give you a ringside view of boxing; it leaves you rooting for our sportsmen who have put India on the world map.

The autobiography Kom wrote may not be comprehensive or literary, but it is more honest, brave and fun than the film made in her name.
