The director Pandiraj has done it again!
The hero of the story is the beach itself.The story moves around the people who lives and depends on the beach for their livelyhood,specially the uneducated children. Most of the time we just ignore those little boys and girls selling different things at the beach but the director brings the life out of them in this movie. A world not known to most of us.
A realistic portrayal of all the characters makes this movie worth watching.Pandiraj's dialogues are opt and funny.Everyone in this movie done their job to perfection,specially the kids (Ambikapathy).The singer Aatkaati Arumugam and his daughter Annamma,the old man who gives everything to kids and the horseman makes this movie enjoyable.
Then there is a love story of Senthilnathan,his only aim is to walk hand in hand with a girl in marina beach. He woos Sopana sundari by doing all sorts of things like wheeling in bike.This love episode is not in line with the theme of the story but still lovable.Senthilnathan's mind calculation of expanses for Sopana and the forwarded sms jokes explanations will make anyone laugh.Senthilnathan's friend role is neat and funny.
Sivakarthigeyan as Senthilnathan was good ,need more emotions to survive. Ovyia was beautiful and did perform well.Jithan Mohan as the post master steals the show from all the others.Kudos to Pandiraj for creating such a nice character and selected a perfect actor to play it.
The story is neatly told even though it looks preachy at certain times.Music by Girish G was not bad ,except the first song "Vanakkam Chennai" , none of the other songs i enjoyed.Cinematography by Vijay was good,he brings the 'Marina' beach alive.
Its heartening to see that directors like Pandiraj makes effort to take a good children movie.Keep the good work.
Overall 'Marina' is a nice walk on the beach.
