Glory review: Pulkit Samrat, Divyenndu’s boxing whodunnit could have been a knockout but the punches just don’t land

• Why ‘Glory’ had big potential.
• Where Pulkit Samrat and Divyenndu’s film missed the mark.
• Our honest thoughts on the boxing whodunnit.

We just saw Pulkit Samrat and Divyenndu team up in ‘Glory’, and oh boy, we had high hopes for this one.

Imagine a boxing drama mixed with a murder mystery. Sounds exciting, right? A real one-two punch idea.

The premise was fresh. A true knockout concept on paper. But then, the execution… it just kind of fell flat. Like a fighter running out of steam too early.

We were ready for a visually stunning, gritty boxing vibe. You know, sweat, blood, intense stares. The kind of aesthetic that grabs you. Instead, it felt surprisingly dull in its look and feel sometimes.

Pulkit Samrat and Divyenndu usually bring their A-game. They power through scenes, but even their performances couldn’t save the film from its slow pace. We’ve talked before about how they power other thrillers, even if they wobble midway.

The whole ‘whodunnit’ part? It didn’t keep us guessing. The drama felt… well, pretty mundane. We were looking for some real tension, some unexpected twists.

It’s a shame when a movie has such a cool foundation but doesn’t build something strong on it. We’ve seen other stories about complex situations, even outside the film world, like folks making big life changes. Just recently, we shared news about Evelyn Sharma separating from her husband after 5 years.

There’s so much creative energy out there. For example, new collaborations like StudioMonowa show how exciting things can get when different ideas come together.

Our Take

Honestly, ‘Glory’ had all the ingredients for a smashing hit. A great concept, two strong actors. But it just couldn’t land those crucial blows.

We wanted grit. We wanted suspense. What we got was something that felt a bit boring. A real missed opportunity to create something memorable.

It’s a bummer, because the idea of a boxing world tinged with mystery is just *chef’s kiss*. But the movie didn’t paint that picture for us.
