Wannabe or prospective producers of both biopics as well as heroine centric or oriented films or flicks certainly have a reason or then reasons to smile and gloat as the Priyanka Chopra starrer "Mary Kom" has thus far garnered a little over Rs. 17 crore at the box office.........
"Mary Kom" (produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and helmed by debutante director Omung Kumar) hit the screens nationwide on Friday, September 5, 2014 and garnered mostly favourable reviews from both the critics as well as discerning audiences who have been showering unstinted praise on Priyanka Chopra for her stellar performance as five time female boxing champ MC Mary Kom..........
A stark, realistic and utterly believable take on the life and times of this humble and unassuming human being who answers to the name of Mary Kom; the "punchy" biopic certainly has many pluses to it's credit: a power packed performance by Priyanka Chopra who is being tipped to win all the best actress awards in both the popular as well as critics categories in all the film award functions as well as the deft direction on the part of Omung Kumar add considerable lustre to this two hour long biopic..........
Add to this equally stunning performances by Naseeruddin Shah protege Darshan Kumar (as Mary Kom's husband and pillar of support Onier) as well as the character actor who essays the role of Mary Kom's unsparing coach and mentor and Mary Kom makes it's mark as a complete package that not only entertains but also makes you sit back and ponder over the status of women in our largely male centric and dominated society and the seemingly insurmountable odds that they have to overcome in order to leave their indelible prints on the sands of time.........
Is it any wonder then that "Mary Kom" has not only packed a punch but also reinforced the recent belief about the content of the film being the real hero that makes a film a blockbuster hit or resounding flop as the case may be.........
17.30 crore (box office collection over the first 2 days) and counting; "Mary Kom" has certainly given a a new found fillip to Priyanka Chopra's somewhat stagnant career and re-established her place in the firmament as an actress who is second to none when it comes to sheer histrionics and acting talent..........
