Jerry on Top: Less adventure, more drama

Summary

  • The film explores a father-son conflict, a love triangle, and the protagonist Jerry's struggle to prove himself by climbing Everest.
  • Performances show some improvement, especially by Jasita Gurung, while Anmol KC's acting remains more heroic than nuanced.
  • Technically, the film offers attractive visuals of the Himalayas but lacks thrilling adventure sequences and suffers from pacing issues due to long runtime and editing.
