Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Nonureva Really Surprised!

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

shamik_ghosh-1 I watched "Mary Kom" with my family. It's simply a foolish movie. I think, it to be a political brainwash film in the disguise of a "sports film". The name "INDIA" is unnecessarily used........probably just to capture the mainstream audience. Nothing realistic is there about Manipur's socio- political reality. Even the sets are unrealistic. The world championship held in china is full of advertisement of "Usha" and "Polycrol. The character and whole thing is vaguely drawn. The last tension is childish.......any third-grade director wouldn't dare to do such melodramatic thing. "Chak de India" or even "Bhag Milkha Bhag" is much better. If you just need to see a nationalistic foolish fairy tale, watch it. But if you are a little bit conscious about intellect in films....don't dare to watch.

bobbysing Before going for MARY KOM this Friday, I had four positives in mind about the attempt made, giving it a finer edge in comparison to a few recent biographical movies coming from Hindi Cinema.Firstly it's a biopic made in an Industry which doesn't like to venture in this particular genre in terms of commercial cinema and that too talking about the life of a woman, which is even a rarer attempt by the makers unarguably.Secondly it's supposed to be a sports movie which again is a genre rarely chosen by our reputed directors and that too focusing on Boxing, a much lesser followed sport than Cricket, Hockey, Athletics or Wrestling in India.Thirdly and most importantly its not a biopic of an old person, who had done it many decades ago. On the contrary it's a film made on the life of a talented sportswoman, rather a mother, who is still young at 31 and still kicking to go further in her achievements fighting many more competitions coming ahead in the next years. And one seldom gets to see a biopic of a person who is this young and still active in his or her particular field representing the country all over the world, so proudly.In cinematic terms, the project also had a worth mentioning strong merit of being the debut directorial film of a highly experienced and known artist Omung Kumar who began his career as an anchor almost two decades before and then remained associated with numerous reputed projects as a Production Desinger/Art Director including films like BLACK and SAAWARIYA.So having these four positive points in mind and one negative one about the unnecessary glamourization of an important bio-pic, featuring Priyanka Chopra, I was excited to watch the film, only to get disappointed to a much larger extent than feared, witnessing the dismal attempt quite sadly.But before moving on to the review, I would like to clearly mention that this is a just an honest analysis of the movie made on the life of the highly respected sportswoman of our country titled MARY KOM and not in any way pointing towards the iconic figure or her majestic achievements at all.The film begins with a fine opening sequence shuttling between the present and past of a pregnant woman being taken to the hospital by her husband, amongst the tension spread in the city due to the revolting groups. The pretty weak 'boxing training' scenes coming next, straight away remind you of the masterpiece MILLION DOLLAR BABY revolving around another brave lady boxer, directed by the maestro Clint Eastwood. And then as it progresses further one feels truly amazed to see everything happening so easily in a pure filmy manner, unable to move or impress the viewer neither emotionally nor excitingly.In fact some poor choices made in the supporting cast (like Mary's mother and her coach), too many below average songs coming repeatedly, uninspiring fight sequences and a quite lifeless direction by Omung, completely ruins the whole excitement felt in the beginning with a clear indication of the film being nothing more than a mediocre attempt dealing with an the important genre of bio-pics unfortunately. In other words, this is not anything even close to a realistic biographical movie, but a mere commercial project eyeing for a quick killing at the box office getting some instant attention and few claps here and there en-cashing the national spirit. For instance, one wonders why we always tend to go overboard with a filmy execution of all training sequences in such a film (along with a typical background song) and also what can you say about the vision followed in a sports movie when in one of its international fight sequences, a German coach hits his own reputed contestant in anger (on her head), while she is coming back to him after losing the bout. Moreover I strongly don't think the talented lady's real life had been as easy as depicted in the film with everything happening on its own without any major hassles or clashes.Giving the actual truth, I remember only one impressive scene in the entire film when Mary apologizes to the federation manager and then few good moments towards the end with another Bollywoodish kind of climax fight, ending with the national anthem being played at full length (asking people to get up from their seats) which ideally should have been avoided to end it on some different kind of inspiring cinematic note.In short, I deeply respect the exceptional & unbelievable kind of achievements made by the brave Indian sportswoman MARY KOM, both in her personal life as a mother and in the sports career as a boxer. But I am unable to praise this too plain & filmy biopic made on her extraordinary life in any of its department be it cinematography, background music, performances or direction, despite the earnest attempts made by Darshan Kumaar (as Mary's husband) and Priyanka Chopra (who again was a wrong choice made for the role, as predicted by many).Hence you can go for it as an informational film, to know more about the pride of our nation, the fearless MARY KOM, who is still ready to win many more fights in the next Olympics too. But not as any great inspiring biographical movie doing any kind of acceptable justice to the subject matter here, putting it honestly.

ghazwan124 This week's release, Omung Kumar's MARY KOM is one such film which is a biopic on one of India's most illustrious sports personalities, Mary Kom, who, despite all her hardships, put our country on the international map with her achievements. The film goes on to show the real life story of this sports star, which not many are aware of. The film serves as an eye opener not just on the fact that India can produce international 'gold medal winning' boxers, but also that Manipur is very much a part of India! Omung does a great job of building up the climax with heart wrenching scenes where Mary chooses to box over spending a blissful life with her family. Post her opting to box, Mary accidentally lands up at the boxing training academy of her coach Narjit Singh (Sunil Thapa), who, after seeing her persistence, teaches her that 'the world maybe round for everyone, but her world should be the shape of the boxing ring, a Square'! Mary's talent for the sport combined with her coach's training form a deadly unbeatable lethal combo who go on to win international competitions galore.AL_janaby

gary199301 First, Mary Kom, jolly nice to know about a good player from India with a very motivating story. Nice to see an inspirational woman player from a sports-crippled country.Now moving to the movie. -=IT's CLASSIC Indian=- movie with due emphasis on dramatisation and niche (by that I mean liberally copied) special effects. The best way to introduce a great person is by making a documentary, but no, we're Indians. Unless we showboat and sugar-coat the same on a 10 hours long movie, it displeases our Gods.Pathetic movie, pathetic acting, pathetic effort, pathetic direction, great intention. Here, I'll save all you viewers some time and effort - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Kom. Don't be lethargic and just watch movies, read once in a while. This Wikipedia entry will actually tell you something about her life and save you from all the (severely) cheap movies that we Indians make.
