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

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

Manjusha Radhakrishnan, Gulf News

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

Prathna Tiwari, Bolly Spice

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

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

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

Lokesh Dharmani, Masala!

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

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

Vishal Verma, IndiaGlitz

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

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

Rachit Gupta, Filmfare

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

Saibal Chatterjee, NDTV

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

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' is a motivational masterpiece

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

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

Kusumita Das, Deccan Chronicle

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

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