- Firstly because I believe it’s the first movie made in India based on a sporting legend who is young and still participating actively in competitions. She has not yet retired and in all probability will be participating in the 2016 Olympics.
- Because we all know the production quality of movies made by Sanjay Leela Bhansali (even though he has just produced it).
- Because the sports action director (Rob Miller) is the same who had earlier worked for 'Chak De India' & 'Bhag Milkha Bhag'. This means you can be sure to see good and authentic sporting action unlike many other so called sports movies (I would not like to name them here)
- Because we all love a 'rags to riches' story. We all want to know about people who despite all odds and difficulties comes out very successful purely based on their own hard-work.
- Because it is the story of a woman who has been successful in a sport not considered fit for women.
- Because it tells the story of Mary Kom who had already been World Champion 5 times (twice after giving birth to twins) but most people came to know about her only after she won the Olympic Bronze medal.
- It is the first mainstream Bollywood movie which focuses on a person from the remote North Eastern part of the country.
- Because it will show that people with Mongoloid features belonging to a tiny state called Manipur are Indians to mainstream Indian audiences, most of who had always considered them anything but Indian.
- Because by now we all know that the title role will be played by Priyanka Chopra who had done some fabulous movies and we love her for those roles.
- And most importantly, I believe, because we all love Mary as a person as well as her achievements.
