Good. This seems to be interesting.

After Kahaani, 2nd Women oriented film getting such amazing response, especially from Female segment. This film will be huge if not commercially, critically as well awards toh honge hi.

Mary Kom again proves Priyanka's versatility and devotion towards her work.I hope she gets due recognition unlike Barfi and the film does good.
