Sports dramas – especially those involving one-to-one combat like boxing and wrestling – seem to be the flavour of the season. After movies like ‘Dangal’ and ‘Sultan’ stole the viewers’ hearts, looks like it’s now the turn of the Hindi film ‘Toofaan’ and Tamil-Telugu bilingual film ‘Sarpatta Parambarai’ to win over the OTT viewers.
And while you’re at it, here’s a collection of the most revered international boxing films that you could binge-watch on Amazon Prime Video:
Rocky
With the mention of sports drama, the name that comes to one’s mind instantly is ‘Rocky’. The iconic movie franchise which has Sylvester Stallone in the lead role, narrates the story of a small-time boxer who is set to take on the reigning heavy-weight champion. The intense training and vigour of Rocky (essayed by Sylvester Stallone) has over the years become a film-lovers guide on all things boxing making it a must-watch.
Million Dollar Baby
Directed by Clint Eastwood, this Academy Award-winning movie has Hillary Swank and Morgan Freeman in lead roles. The story follows Margaret “Maggie” Fitzgerald, an amateur boxer who goes on to achieve her dream becoming a professional boxer with the training from an underappreciated trainer (essayed by Clint Eastwood). The compelling fight sequences from the movie will leave you spellbound.
Cinderella Man
Inspired by the life of a former heavyweight champion, ‘Cinderella Man’, directed by Ron Howard unfolds the story of an Irish-American boxer – James J Braddock (essayed by Russel Crowe) who is persuaded by his wife (Renne Zellweger) to leave boxing behind. Owing to circumstance (great depression), James J Braddock comes back into the ring to fight one last time. With newfound strength and tactics, what was going to be a last fight goes to become the first of his many wins and eventually making him the world’s greatest boxer.
