Marina is a Tamil film directed by Pandiraj starring Siva Karthikeyan, in his feature film debut and Oviya in the lead roles. Ambikapathy is an orphan runaway who escapes from his cruel uncle to Chennai and eventually ends up at Marina Beach. He earns his livelihood by selling drinking water packets and later poached chickpeas to people visiting the beach. His calm and mature manners win him the admiration and later the friendship of other boys employed at the beach. Ambikapathy dreams of being educated, so he works in the day to save money for schooling whilst trying to study at night on his own. His desire to be enrolled in a proper school slowly begins to rub off on the other children at the beach. An old man and postman are the guardians of sorts for these street-children. The beach also attracts many lovebirds; one such couple is Senthilnathan and Swapnasundari.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Marina is an acquired taste at 5.4/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A 2012 film from an era before CGI overload, with real performances that still hit hard. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
