Yet another sports drama but with a pinch of life into it, this period piece stands out for the outstandingly genuine performance of Dushara Vijayan who literally lived the life of Maariyamma, the boxer's wife. The industry might not have seen such stellar performance from a female lead in the recent past. The fight sequence with dancing rose is superb. The climax, though predictable, will defenitely keep you to the edge of your seat.
