Mary Kom is a 2014 Indian biographical sports drama film directed by Omung Kumar and produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Viacom 18 Motion Pictures. The film stars Priyanka Chopra in the lead role as the eponymous boxer, with Darshan Kumar and Sunil Thapa in supporting roles as her husband and mentor, Onler Kom and M. Narjit Singh respectively. The film depicts Kom's journey of becoming a boxer to her victory at the 2008 World Boxing Championships in Ningbo City. In the film, Chopra makes her first appearance as a playback singer in Bollywood for a lullaby called "Chaoro".
Mary Kom was developed by Saiwyn Quadras, who suggested the storyline to Kumar at the time when Kom, despite her numerous achievements, was not a familiar name in India. Kumar met Kom to gain her permission for the film, much before the 2012 Olympics win, which brought her recognition. Chopra underwent extensive training for three months to attain a muscular physique. She also trained for the sport and Kom's distinct boxing styles. Principal photography started at Filmistan Studio, where only the boxing sequences were filmed continuously for twenty days. After the plans to shoot in Manipur were dropped, the film was shot in Dharamshala and Manali, where a major portion of Manipur was recreated.
Mary Kom premiered at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival, becoming the first Hindi film to be screened on the opening night of the film festival. The film was released on 5 September 2014 to generally positive reviews from critics, with Chopra receiving critical acclaim. Made on a budget of ₹150 million (US$2 3 million), the film grossed ₹940 million (US$14 million) at the box-office, emerging as a commercial success. Mary Kom received several accolades at award ceremonies across India. The film won the Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment honour at the 62nd National Film Awards and was nominated at the 60th Filmfare Awards in the Best Film and the Best Actress (Chopra) categories.
Synopsis
The movie opens with a pregnant Mary Kom (Priyanka Chopra), heading towards the hospital with her husband Onler Kom (Darshan Kumaar). Onler is mistaken for an insurgent and beaten when he tries to find a vehicle despite a curfew. The film then shifts to a flashback with Mangte Chungeijang Kom, finding boxing gloves in the remains of an air crash in 1991, which prompted her interest in boxing despite her father's disapproval. During an early fight, she chases a boy and ends up in a boxing gym. The coach of the gym, Narjit Singh (Sunil Thapa) is the coach of the Asian Champion Dingko Singh, and Kom tells him about her boxing aspirations. He asks her to visit the gym for next thirty days and says that he will only teach her if she is deserving enough. She starts visiting the gym, telling her mother but not her father. Days pass but her father does not enquire about her. Due to Kom's dedication and stubbornness, Coach Singh starts training her, suggesting she change her name to Mary Kom.Actors

In a brief scene in 1964, an aging, overweight Italian American, Jake LaMotta (Robert De Niro), practices a comedy routine. The rest of the film then occurs in flashback. In 1941, LaMotta is in a major boxing match against Jimmy Reeves, where he received his first loss. Jake's brother Joey LaMotta (Joe Pesci) discusses a potential shot for the middleweight title with one of his Mafia connections, Salvy Batts (Frank Vincent). Some time thereafter, Jake spots a 15-year-old girl named Vickie (Cathy Moriarty) at an open-air swimming pool in his Bronx neighborhood. He eventually pursues a relationship with her, even though he is already married. In 1943, Jake defeats Sugar Ray Robinson, and has a rematch three weeks later. Despite the fact that Jake dominates Robinson during the bout, the judges surprisingly rule in favor of Robinson and Joey feels Robinson won only because he was enlisting into the US Army the following week. By 1947, Jake marries Vickie.

Dr. Satyajit Chavan is the head doctor at a civil hospital in Dehli. Satyajit is well regarded and respected, but he has terrible bedside manners and is generally rude to everyone. His staff of doctors, most of whom are young interns fresh out of medical school, inquire about his bedside manner. He curtly informs them that his job is to treat patients and that beds must be allocated to the ones who are most likely to survive and get better. We discover that government hospitals (especially in large cities like Mumbai) are severely limited in bed space and attract the worst stricken patients in the city. These draconian conditions have shaped Satyajit and his views on treatment.
