Watch Mary Kom For Free

A Masterpiece!

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

What a performance by priyanka ..Stunning she delivered another top notch performance ..You can feel her hard work to portray mary kom role ... Fantastic...Hats off to director omung kumar for making a superb sports biopic. ..Must watch it .

A lost opportunity to create India's Million Dollar Baby. Mary Kom is supposedly a sports biopic on the life of ace boxer Mary Kom from Manipur (the only Indian female to be 5 times world champion). However, after one finishes watching the movie it turns out to be a conspiracy by Priyanka Chopra and Omung Kumar to leverage the name of an ace boxer to develop an action packed cinematic entertainment. The movie itself sets disclaimer that it is based on life events of Mary Kom not the life of Mary Kom. Priyanka Chopra tried hard to get into the boxing gloves but her glamour still resonates vividly in the movie (cosmetic usage, etc). The movie exemplifies dramatic experience by trying to mimic Rocky (hand movement gesture after winning matched), Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (training at Manali). On various occasions as she wins the titles, Priyanka jumps like an excited child, now whoever has watched Mary Kom boxing or any boxing match for that matter would know how strenuous it is after the match has ended and the boxer is hardly able to stand. Another big turnoff is poor product placements by Havmor, Tata Salt, Iodex, Sugar-free, etc. Havmor is an extreme blooper which shows an outlet in Manipur when it is hardly present outside Gujarat, Rajasthan and Maharashtra. Mary Kom is also burdened by immaterial songs rendering the movie cinematic and uninspired.Only satisfaction from the movie would be if it inspires few females to take up professional sporting career. Mary Kom could have been made with an entire Manipuri cast or as documentary film.

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.

I have read a lot of criticism of this film lately. Many critics commented that the film lacked a proper melodrama and screenplay could have been bettered. Well, I also felt the film lacked certain punches in the screenplay; but overall, the film is a very sincere effort to present the life story of a sports person. I simply found three very strong reasons to admire this film.The first reason is the story. Very few Hindi films have done justice with the real life characters. And this one fully handles the story of a north Indian girl who defies her father by choosing boxing. Bollywood recently lacked good stories in its films and "Mary Kom" just sincerely fills the void. The second reason is its clarity in presentation. The film nowhere compromises for the formulaic sequences and remains truthful to its backdrop. Very few directors dare to make a complete sports movie which this does. And the last and the most strong reason is the performances. Though Priyanka doesn't look like a North Indian girl she steals the show by appearing ferocious boxer and a loving mother. Perhaps this is her second best film I've watched after "Fashion." Similarly, Sunil Thapa and Darshaan Kumar in very unpolished roles also do deliver good performances.Well, don't go with a great hype for this film. It's simply a good and a naturalistic film in a dearth of good movies. Trust me, you won't leave your seats with a scorn.Rating: 3 stars out of 4
