Mary Kom
Critic reviews and ratings
-
Director Omung Kumar showcases flair with his very first movie.
-
...definitely worth a watch.
-
Mary Kom is an important film that's hugely inspiring. But more importantly, it's also great fun to watch.
-
...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.
-
Despite some major grouses with the film, I’ve come away from the theatre admiring Mary Kom and being a little in love with Onler. Mission accomplished, Omung Kumar.
-
To Kumar's credit it must be said that he manages to keep the spirit of Mary intact in lead actress Priyanka Chopra who, I must admit, fits well into this role, although not to the 'T'.
-
Watch the film for PC. She packs a punch. A performance like that deserves to be seen.
-
All this film needed was a bit more guts to chart its own path with Mary Kom herself as an inspiration. But sadly, they chose to play to the gallery instead. Mary and Priyanka deserved a better film.
-
Over-dramatized. Over-fictionalized. Over-commercialized. Too episodic. An inspiring story nevertheless.
-
The film has sincerity and has been crafted with care.
-
Devoid of authenticity and political depth, this biopic disappoints on many levels.
-
...the performances from the lead pair largely fill the gaps in the story telling, but then a biopic relies heavily on the director’s craft, which in this case fails to impress.
-
Mary Kom's story is a great one and we all know that. The film falls short in doing justice to Magnificent Mary.
-
The obviously questionable casting of Priyanka Chopra as the lead actress and the choice of the principal shooting locations are the least of the numerous glaring problems that mar first-time director Omung Kumar’s well-intentioned but excessively effusive Mary Kom.
-
...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.
-
Super Mary Kom, Super Priyanka Chopra, unexceptional biopic.
-
...it also gets right the main act : Mary Kom, inspirational world champion, shaking a glove.
-
No this is not quite the biopic that Mary Kom deserves.
-
It's perfectly watchable, but never great like it should've been.
-
Priyanka Chopra rises above a generic script, predictable treatment and an extremely manipulative narrative.
-
Not so much a biopic as a sturdy melodrama.
-
...ends up being a mildly entertaining ode to any sportsperson's rise to the top. It has no specificity, no special element that separates it from the rest.
-
...an inconsistent narrative that seems too hurried to strike the right balance between her personal life and career, and ends up biting off more than it can chew.
-
The champion’s amazing journey is broad-brushed, Manipur is a puzzle and Priyanka Chopra is impressively industrious
-
I would have liked something much more than this mediocre account of a magnificent reality.
