Mumbai film industry is on a
spree for biopic in recent few years. Paan Singh Tomar, Bhag Milkha Bhag and now
Mary Kom.
Surprisingly all these biopics are based on sports personalities. Though Pan Singh Tomar had a different angle and a very important twist in his life, the latter two were plain and simple unilateral ones. Bhag Milkha Bhag was a pretty average movie, surprised to see so much appreciation for it. Frankly after knowing the trend and the first look of the movie I didn’t expect anything around Mary Kom, that’s why no disappointment.

The director Omung Kumar never
had any intention to create a great movie. Also, probably the most pretentious and
fake artist of Bollywood Sanjay Leela Bhansali, being the producer what else do
you expect.
There was no honest effort to portray Mary Kom. They only wanted to
cash upon female sentiment, deprivation of North-East states and same old stories
of deprivation by sports federations. The makeup artist Uday Shirale never tried to give Priyanka the Manipuri look and
throw away her star image from the movie.
Just for the sake creating the
Manipuri sentiment they used it while fight against federation. No landscapes of such
a beautiful state was shown in the movie.
Priyanka being an extremely gifted
actress it was a pity to see how they could not use her properly. Only melodrama after melodrama. Her father
throwing away the boxing gloves, telling her to choose between boxing or
family, then while she was losing he shouted and sat in front of the
television; when she wanted to make her comeback, her Shaolin Soccer or Karate
Kid type coach (Sunil Thapa)
suddenly stand up and picked her two babies. In the entire movie Priyanka never carried them
outside home, even not to the local healthcare center. She only carried them to
her coach’s home so that he can tie them on her back and gave his speech.
Lastly, when she was about to go for her final
fight in the movie, the news of her kid’s operation came. During the fight, her collapse
synced with almost operation failure of her baby and then a sudden cut showing her husband holding
2 babies in an empty auditorium. Sanjay Leela Bhansali being one of the editors of
this movie if he can approved the mood spoiler shot, then kudos to his cinematic
sense.
The fight with federation is also very funny. One hot conversation, immediately next day the rapist looking official started supporting her with muffler around his neck to portray how weak he is.

In between branding of Sugar
Free, Iodex were so commercial, I won’t be surprised if in future we see sudden
stop and a commercial break in between the movies.
Darshan Kumar made a decent
effort as Onler Kom (Mary’s Husband).
Priyanka tried her best.In some of the stunts she was really good.
But a humble request to the director, please put an honest effort in future to this medium of art.Box office is not in your hand, but your art is.
Overall - obviously it’s a onetime watch. Otherwise how will you verify my points?
