A man sitting opposite to her tried to make sense of what was printed on her loosely fit yellow tee which held her white wayfarer glasses by the collar.
Even with 93% literacy rate of Kerala, not one person in the compartment could comprehend the mind boggling graffiti on her tee and more puzzling was the tattoo on her right hand. The tattoo which was partially hidden by the accessories resembling Christian rosary wrapped around her wrists.
Everyone's gaze followed, as She raised her arm to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ea…

Mary Kom for me, was a hassle between the expectations and reality. I expected more of  Adrenaline rush and Exaggerating scenes, but the movie turned out to be in the line of delivering truth and yet reached a level of inspiration. Its said and believed that real life and reel life are way different, but Mangte Chungneijang Mary Kom's life is a perfect plot for a Motivational movie.
The movie starts with a shady scene of a curfew showing a pregnant Mary and her hubby Onler Kom making their way to the hospital. The transitions in the scenes are smooth, with different phases of her life running parallel. By interval, Mary has achieved everything and it seems to be perfect.The real story and struggle starts afterwards.
