Film Review
Ambikapathy ('Pakada' Pandian) comes to Chennai from a remote village. He makes Marina beach his home and earns his livelihood by selling water packets. He soon befriends children of his age group, who are involved in small businesses there.
It is fun under the sun for children, who are cared and loved by grandpa (Sundararajan), a beggar, and a postman (Jithan Mohan). A singer (Attakathi Aarumugam) and his daughter also live on the beach.
The story has a subplot, where the director shows the romance of a young couple (Siva Karthikeyan and Oviya), a regular visitors to Marina.
Pandiraj blends all characters to send a strong message about the need to provide every basic education to every child for a better tomorrow.
All the characters revolve around Pakada Pandian and the young artist delivers a good performance.The kids emote well and almost live the characters.Siva Karthikeyan's one-liners elicit laughter. Oviya has little scope in the script.
Cinematographer Vijay's captured the life and colours of Marina in a pleasing manner.
Debutant music director Girish background music is lively and effortlessly replaces dialogues in many places.
'Marina' is a feel-good film that moves at a leisurely pace advocating a strong message.
