IELTS Cue Card Speech: Favourite Movie

 Favourite Movie: Chemmeen

 

My favourite movie is a classic Malayalam film which is titled Chemmeen. Chemmeen in the vernacular language means the prawn in English.

This movie is a romantic drama thriller based on the novel of the same name by renowned writer Thakazhi Sivasankara Pillai. It was directed by Ramu Kariat. The movie won the First President's Award for the best Indian movie.

I think I watched this movie for the first time, about ten years ago... and it was on television.

The movie was originally released some four decades ago,  and I was not even born yet....  but it is regarded as an evergreen classic movie by all age groups in my homeland.
The movie tells the story of the intense passions of two lovers who belonged to two social classes...
The drama of the movie is built upon (based on) triangular love.

Karuthamma, the daughter of an ambitious fisherman falls in love with Pareekutty, the son of a rich fish trader. Karuthamma's father exploits the sentiments of the lovers and grabs the wealth of Pareekutty. He then forces his daughter Karuthamma to marry another a young man Palani. The heart-broken Pareekutty vows never to marry and maintains his steadfast love for Karuthamma.

Even though the movie ends on a sad note, it became a box office hit because the viewers liked the protagonist and his lover.


I love this movie because it says Love never dies.


Note: If you want to make it shorter, skip the para which begins with " Karuthamma, the..."
