Mary Kom review

STRENGTH OF A WOMAN

Rating: 6.5 out of 10

On the rugged surface, Mary Kom is a formulaic sports biopic; it plays by the ropes and rarely surprises you. Underneath, Mary Kom is a film about a woman fighting against the disadvantageous state of being a woman in today’s India. Her fight in the ring is with her opponents. Her fight outside is with the Indian society. As the former, it’s an average film. As the latter, the film is a knockout.
