This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Watching this film at 2AM and ended up still energetic and awake at 4AM. The duration of the film is 2hr 1minute. Not a single is boring. Trust me, this is a biopic of an Indian female boxer. The director fully utilize the actor in Priyanka Chopra. PC gaves her career best performance till date. This movie has a heart pounding climax. The film is an astonishing spectacular.

This movie is about an inspiring life story. A Manipuri girl from a quite ordinary background with a knack for getting into physical squabble wherever she goes, decides to try her hand at boxing on chancing upon a pair of boxing gloves. From a culture where tomboyish girls are frowned upon, she rebels her way through to get formal training in the boxing sport. The movie takes us on a ride of how she undergoes the customary journey of a woman as a wife and a mother and still holding her fort as an international boxing woman champion. The cast has been aptly chosen to portray Manipuri features and lifestyle except Priyanka, which we can overlook as she gets immersed in the character of Mary Kom and gives her best to exude the inner character of this female icon. Watching movies like these do, at most times, focus well deserved attention to such achievers who were practically unknown before but we Google them up after the movie. Certain aspects of the movie could have been better according to some critics but being a very simple movie watcher, I could count more pluses than minuses. A dialogue that I absolutely loved is when the trainer, Sunil Thapa, tells her that a woman becomes stronger only after attaining motherhood. The female body withstands a lot of physical and mental exertion on bearing a child, but I can claim with assurance that it makes a woman fit to face anything. That is the message this movie conveys and we feel proud to be from a country of this undeterred female achiever, Mary Kom.

I like how she proves to herself and others that she is strong. Very Inspirational to women in other countries who also want to do boxing. It is possible, and do not let anyone be sexist against you. This woman fought hard even though she got married and had children. That is so awesome how she worked hard. Not many mothers do that. That one guy she tried to straighten up was an a**hole but once again the movie is awesome. I did not understand the beginning when it first opened but now I have an idea why the movie turned out to foreshadow the rest of the movie. In the movie she battles with her family and lost touch with her own coach or mentor because he really wanted her to focus on her passion and career but she had to get married or else other drama would start. Even when she tried to convince him that she will be back and nothing will stop her, he still let her go until months later he sees her again trying to box.

Ordering the DVD of the Bollywood film Haider just after Christmas,I was pleasantly caught by surprise,when the DVD seller included a bonus title as a "New Year's Day gift."Being extremely keen to view some Bollywood titles for a poll being held on IMDbs Classic Film board for the best movies of 2014,I got set to step into the ring with Mary Kom.The plot:Constantly getting into fights with boys,Mary Kom is told by her parents that she must calm down & stop behaving in this manner.With her dad being a former famous wrestler,Kom is surprise to find her dad to be disappointed by his daughter fighting the bullies back.Getting sick of one guy having picked on her far too often,Kom gets into a fight with a bully,which leads to her busting into a boxing/gym building. Dazzled the sight of the boxing ring,Kom decides that she will keep the discovery hidden from her parents,as Mary Kom sets her sights on being India's first ever female boxing champion.View on the film:Completing the film as a tribute to her dad, (whose sudden death led to her only taking 10 days off,due to being determined to complete the film for him) Priyanka Chopra gives a superb performance as Mary Kom.Showing Kom early days to be ones filled with rough edges,Chopra shows motherhood to have a calming effect on Kom,as she has to switch her focus from the boxing ring to looking after her seriously ill kids.Stepping into the ring for real,Chopra displays a passionate force in the boxing scenes,where every punch is matched by Chopra covering Kom's face to destroy every limit put in her way.Joining Chopra, Sunil Thapa gives the film a real sense of gravitas as Kom's tough as nails trainer M. Narjit Singh,whilst Darshan Kumar keeps Kom's husband Onler Kom on the right side of sincerity.Whilst the screenplay by Saiwyn Qadras/Ramendra Vasishth and Karan Singh Rathore remains disappointingly vague on the "troubles" in the Indian region of Manipur/Kom's home town. (Where due to there being a banned on films in Hindi being screen,led to the movie not being shown in the home town heroes place!)The writers do very well at tracking an alternative sports movie route for the flick,by making Kom's road to the gold one that is relatively easy to reach,but burns out at a fast pace,which leads to Kom being haunted with the fear that she will never be able to return to her past glories.Making his directing debut after spending 20 years working as a production & set designer,director Omung Kumar shows a world champion-worthy level of confidence in his stylish debut.Closely working with cinematographer Keiko Nakahara,Kumar gives the boxing scenes a burning hot atmosphere,by hitting a careful balance of wide shots that allow the viewer a clear,full view on the match,with brittle,tightly held shots and precise editing make every punch land with a real thud.Cooling down from the sweat of the ring,Kumar and Nakahara use burning embers and light greens to show Kom discover peace with her children,as the film delivers a knock out punch.
