Marina - Poetry by the beach

[NOV]

Cast: Siva Karthikeyan, Oviya Helen, Jayaprakash V
Direction: Pandiraj
Music: Girish

Director Pandiraj made a grand debut as director with Sasikumar’s Pasanga in 2009. The successful film, which dealt with the psyche of school-going children and the art of parenting, won him many awards at the national and international stage. He followed it up with last year’s Vamsam which had the curvaceous Sunaina as heroine opposite debutant Arulnidhi. The film was a moderate success.

Pandiraj is all set to launch his third directorial venture titled Marina. As the title amply suggests, the film would be documenting the lives and the means of livelihood of the many children who have made the sprawling Marina Beach in Chennai as their ‘place of work’ by selling many eatables and also indulging in children-centric activities like horse-riding, etc.

Popular TV host and reality show star Siva Karthikeyan is all set to make his debut as hero with Marina. The affable Siva has been signed up as hero opposite Oviya (of Kalavaani fame). Oviya also starred in the Kamal-Trisha starrer Manmadhan Ambu late last year amid cries that her role had been ‘pruned down’ in the film. She, however, gave a good account of her acting credentials in Kalavaani.

Pandiraj’s favourite set of actors and technicians find a place in Marina. Jayaprakash, the teacher of Pasanga, is part of the cast in Marina as well. Vijay, the cinematographer of Pandiraj’s earlier two films, would repeat his act for the director’s third film also. Pandiraj is introducing Krish as music director with this film, which is expected to go to the floors shortly.

Marina (Tamil)
Like Pandiraj's debut film "Pasanga", "Marina" also revolves around children, focusing on the uneducated ones. The film will be a mirror that reflects the lives of children at the marina beach, who sell snacks and goodies at beach side stalls and are deprived from luxuries and basic needs. It is said to be inspired from Mira Nair's critically acclaimed Hindi film "Salaam Bombay!" in 1988 and stars Siva Karthikeyan in his feature film debut.

Very good movie. Siva Karthikeyan rocks with his comic time. Oviya not so good as in Kalavaani. But ok. Songs and BGM were apt. The movie revolves around beach side choattis. Appappa konjam over aa paesuratha vittuttu paartha, pretty good performances.

Go for it!
