Mary Kom is a biographical sports film based on the life of Indian boxer MC Mary Kom also known as Magnificent Mary.
There was never a doubt that her story needs to be told. It indeed is an inspiring one. Omung Kumar tries hard to recreate it on celluloid.
Mary Kom's father is against her taking up boxing because she may spoil her face but she goes against his wishes and and takes up boxing. At one point he tells her to choose between him and boxing and Mary Kom chooses boxing. She learns quickly under the guidance of her coach M Narjit Singh (Sunil Thapa). Soon she goes from winning one title to making India and her family proud.
Her coach abandons her when she decides to marry her friend who has been a great support. He is angry as he knows that after marriage she will focus on her family life and boxing will take a back seat and that's exactly what happens. Mary Kom is blessed with two kids and gradually she is becoming a forgotten hero. It hits her when she is traveling by bus and the child sitting opposite her talks about Mary Kom but does not recognize her.
With the help of her supportive husband who does everything possible to get her back in the fighting ring she makes a comeback.
The story is predictable from the word go and there are absolutely no surprise elements. A lot could have been done with such a strong protagonist but the director doesn't experiment.
The best part about the film is the casting. Priyanka Chopra has worked hard to get into the skin of the character and it shows. In fact it's tough to imagine any other Bollywood actress to pull it off the way she has. Even her coach played by Sunil Thapa and her husband in the film, actor Darshan Kumar put in sincere efforts from their side. Director Omung Kumar managed to get great performances out of these actors but didn't manage to pump in soul in the legendary tale of an Indian boxer who is a world champion.
A film on sports has to have the right music but Shashi - Shivamm's music doesn't do the trick. It's not bad but could have been much better.
Mary Kom's story is a great one and we all know that. The film falls short in doing justice to Magnificent Mary.
