There is no evidence that such a name is in use, other than a handful of websites that have copied the text from this article. This looks like a private joke. Ash (talk) 04:02, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

art deco/miami

Most of the buildings which were built by wealthy Parsis sport an art deco look that was popular in the 1920s and 1930s. Miami in the United States is the only city in the world that has more art deco buildings along the seafront than Mumbai.

What is the context here for art deco? Chicago's lake shore drive is also a nice street with many artistic buildings including the historic drake hotel.

Movie Scenes

• Scenes from a lot of movies are shot on this road. May be all the Kapoors have been filmed on this road, who knows!! I suggest to add a section to refer to these movie titles. The longer the list, more historical importance of the road.
• Number of lanes on the road
• Where it merges into which another road
• The road used to terminate where Oberoi Hotel was built.
• Hotel Oberoi and Chowpatti were the two first escalators in Mumbai.
• Amul banners started in (year)
• Waves rising to x meters when the sea is wild
• Connect to Girgaon
• Churchgate, Marine Lines, Charni Road accessible from this road.

What about other Marine Drives?

There is a marine drive in Kochi, which is also a pretty famous tourist destination. Could somebody create a disambiguation page and an article on Kochi Marine Drive too? thunderboltz

Looks like nobody's intersted in this. I've changed it into a disamb page. Moved the original to Marine Drive, Mumbai thunderboltz 07:31, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

The Marine Drive of Mumbai is internationally famous. I've reverted =Nichalp «Talk»= 14:03, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Requested move in progress

There is a requested move in progress at Talk:Marine Drive (disambiguation) that may effect the title of this article. Jenks24 (talk) 22:32, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

The result was that the pages, including this one, were moved, and I noted in closing that it was the third time that this page had been moved from the undisambiguated name Marine Drive. Please consult that unanimous discussion before moving this page again. Andrewa (talk) 06:29, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
