Mary Kom opened with a decent business on its first day. the film collected 7.5 crores on its
opening day. The Priyanka Chopra film has been on of the most anticipated films of the year.
Being a biopic on the life of Mary Kom, the film was not expected to make a smashing opening
considering it is not regular commercial cinema.
The film showed a good response at the multiplexes, although the single screens remained
poor over the first day. Also since the film was a normal Friday release, the week day
collections are good. Mumbai, UP and Gujrat circuits. Mary Kom will surely benefit from the
fact that it is a solo release this week and that the tax exemption will prove fruitful for it.
Compared to other films with female leads, the collections of Mary Kom are better than Queen
and Heroine although lesser than Dirty Picture. Considering its genre, the film is not expected to have a massive opening weekend collection,
yet it will certainly make decent business over the weekend. Mary Kom has a good screen
count of around 3000 screens and the film should certainly make the most of it.

Six Life Lessons You Will Learn From ‘Mary Kom’
1. ‘Fight Like A Girl’ Is The Way To Go!
In a fight of strength and muscle, the weaker fighters have conventionally been told that they
‘fight like a girl’. The reference is to a popular belief that women cannot put up a tough fight
because they are weak. ‘Mary Kom ’ shuts down such arguments with an unarguably firm
conviction.
2. Strong Women Can Be Stunning Too!
It may be hard to believe that the hardcore woman, who rules every fight she gets into, can
also make your heat skip a beat with her beauty, but ‘Mary Kom ’ can help you believe it. The
woman drills fear into hearts of the viewers while she’s fighting in the ring. Yet somehow,
‘Mary Kom ’ as a white veiled bride is sure to make your heart skip a beat.
3. You Haven’t Lost Till You Quit Trying
The film’s music itself is enough to make you pick yourself up after a fall and push harder than
you did before. One of the greatest life lessons we learn from ‘Mary Kom ’ is that winning isn’t
just about scoring the most points; it is also about getting up and going on
4. #BeingWoman Redefined!
Indian women battle stereotypes on a daily basis. It is said that women can only rise up to the
limiting glass ceiling, and sadly, most women find it difficult to break through. But that hasn’t
discouraged ‘Mary Kom ’ from making a mark in a male dominated field. ‘Mary Kom ’ breaks
barriers on many levels.
5. Obstacles Cannot Stop The Determine
Fighting off social norms is no easy task, and Mary has emerged through multiple restrictive
social norms as well as disfavouring political conditions. Her story only proves that no
obstacle can hinder uncompromising determination
6. Perseverance Always Pays Off
Among the reasons behind ‘Mary Kom ’s incredible achievement is the fact that she gave it
everything she had. We’ve seen times when Mary is pulled down by situations and
commitments, but then she rises above it all. ‘Mary Kom ’ trained and brought back every last
ounce of the spirit and physique she had as a world champion, only to immortalize her name
in the books of history.
‘Mary Kom ’, the film is about the Indian Boxer and Olympic Bronze medallist MC Mary Kom.
Depicting her life, struggles, family and her perseverance to be the best – Priyanka Chopra
stars as Mary Kom along with Darshan Kumaar, Sunil Thapa, Shishir Sharma and American
actor Zachary Coffin. Directed by Omung Kumar, ‘Mary Kom ’ is produced by Viacom18 Motion
Pictures & Sanjay Leela Bhansali . The film is scheduled for release on September 5, 2014.
