The film gets bloated by extraneous songs: Critic Review for Mary Kom on Moviebuff.com

'Mary Kom' is a victory for its protagonist Priyanka Chopra, scriptwriter Saiwyn Quadras, and director Omung Kumar

Laxmi Negi, Rediff

The Film has it all but lacks the soulfulness and the authenticity of the epic that could have been

Divay Agarwal, Desi Martini

There is blood and sweat and grit in this story, but very little genuine feeling

Rajeev Masand, BookMyShow

Chopra adds a major credit to her acting carnet as a pretty fire brand hot to box, delivering enough punch to raise a convention-bound biopic to rousing entertainment

Deborah Young, The Hollywood Reporter

The film has been shot for the better part in Imphal, Manipur, where the sportswoman was bred

Meena Iyer, The Times of India

'Mary Kom' is a motivational masterpiece

'Mary Kom' doesn't have enough to pack a punch

Suhani Singh, India Today

For a five-time world boxing champion, 'Mary Kom' surely deserved a far more imposing Bollywood tribute

Sneha May Francis, Emirates 24/7

Priyanka's film is no good, read the autobiography of the boxer instead

Deepanjana Pal, First Post

'Mary Kom' is an infinitely better sports film than the bloated mess called 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag'

Saibal Chatterjee, NDTV

Four good tracks make for a worthwhile score

Rajiv Vijayakar, Bollywood Hungama

It’s a commercial film and there are many differences between what has been shown about Mary Kom’s life and what actually happened

Daily Bhaskar Source, Daily Bhaskar

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

Rahul Desai, Mumbai Mirror

The soundtrack of 'Mary Kom' is both inspirational and soul-stirring

Kasmin Fernandes, The Times of India

The myriad typos do nothing to distract from the film's larger flaws

Cooper Aspegren, The Almanac

The film goes on to show the real life story of this sports star, which not many are aware of

The film is a slap on the face of everyone who thinks PC was the wrong choice for Mary Kom

There are flashes of brilliance, yes, but on the whole 'Mary Kom' fails to dazzle

Kusumita Das, Deccan Chronicle

'Mary Kom' may not be the most brilliantly designed movie but it has its heart at the right place

Prathamesh Jadhav, India.com

Omung Kumar tries to correct the anomaly by bringing the exploits of five-time World Amateur Boxing champion and Olympic medallist M C Mary Kom and makes a good fist of the eventful life of this feisty girl

Anuj Kumar, The Hindu

'Mary Kom' - Exceptionally performed powerful motivator

Vishal Verma, IndiaGlitz

Shashi Suman outshines Shivam Pathak with a fine debut in 'Mary Kom'

Vipin Nair, Music Aloud

The film gets bloated by extraneous songs

Shubhra Gupta, Indian Express

Priyanka portrays the character with all her energy and talent, her physique, her expressions and perfectly timed pauses give her the power to hold the audience till the climax of the film

Rohit Vats, Hindustan Times

'Mary Kom' is an inspirational biopic from the first frame till the end

Nandhini Srinivasan, Filmi Beat

Composing music for a sports film is always difficult but we think Shashi Suman and Shivam along with the singers and lyricist have come up with a terrific album

Namrata Thakker, Bollywood Life

'Mary Kom' is gritty and inspirational therefore it is one of the most important films of this year

Srishti Dixit, Bollywood Life

It’s this simplistic narrative that trivialises the inspiring sports person’s story and her real struggle

Lokesh Dharmani, Masala!

Super 'Mary Kom', Super Priyanka Chopra, unexceptional biopic

Rachit Gupta, Filmfare

The classic mix of excellent singers by composers Shashi Suman and Shivam has given the album some great numbers

Surabhi Redkar, Koimoi

The climax in the boxing ring redeems the film and takes it to a glorious finish

Manjusha Radhakrishnan, Gulf News

It remains mildly inconsistent in both the halves and looks more of like a pouncing cub struggling hard to strike the right balance between Mary's personal life and her career

Ankur Karan Singh, Santa Banta

It is heartwarming to see two Indian Idol finalists make an accomplished composing debut

Karthik Srinivas, Milliblog

The film is important in that it makes a worthy hero out of a woman boxer who struggled against the odds

Ranjita Ganesan, Business Standard

The film has sincerity and has been crafted with care

Anupama Chopra, Hindustan Times

'Mary Kom' - she is one who defeated the notion of motherhood bogging down a women physically!

Omung’s debut as a biopic was a quite the challenging task but he handles the genre reasonably well
