Critical reception
Pavithra Srinivasan of Rediff.com rated Marina 3/5 stating that it is "worth a watch."[12] The Times of India gave the film the same rating and wrote that ""Director Pandiraj does, and comes up with a fairly engaging screenplay. He details with some depth some of their lives, and wins hearts all the way — much like in his debut film ‘Pasanga’. His dialogues are crackling with wit and humour and he draws the best performances from his ensemble cast.[13] Behindwoods Review Board rated it 2.5/5 calling Marina a "pleasant beach".[14] On the contrary, Rohit Ramachandran of Nowrunning.com rated it 2/5 calling it a "failed attempt at making a companion piece to Pasanga."[5] Sify's Moviebuzz dismissed the film as "boring."[6]
Box office
Marina opened at No.1 accounting for 51% of the takings in Chennai box office[15] and 39% in its second weekend.The movie had a long run at the box-office.[16]
