Jerry on Top (Nepali: जेरी अन टप) is a 2025 Nepalese romantic adventure-drama film directed by Suyog Gurung, from a story by Hem Raj BC and a screenplay by Biswas Timshina. Produced by Ananya Films Production, it serves as the spiritual successor of the 2014 film Jerryy. The film features Anmol KC, Aanchal Sharma, Jassita Gurung and Kedar Ghimire. With a love story set in the Everest expedition, it is one of the first mainstream Nepali productions to portray Mt Everest as the focus of the story highlighting the significance and challenges of the Himalayan region.[2][3]
The film released on October 17, 2025, in cinemas across Nepal, few days before the Tihar festival. It received mixed response from the critics, with praise directed towards the cinematography, visual effects and production value while it was panned for predictable plot, shoddy storytelling, clumsy writing and amateurish direction.[4] Despite its flaws, it opened to favorable response from the audience at the box office.[5][6]
Synopsis
Jerry, the privileged son of a powerful business tycoon, embarks on a difficult mission to climb Mount Everest. His motivation is a mix of personal ambition, a desire for self-discovery, and a need to redeem his father's unfulfilled dream.
On his challenging Everest expedition, he is guided by Pema, a mysterious Sherpa and trekking guide. The journey is not just a physical ascent but also an emotional one, as Jerry is torn between his ambition, his deep connection with Pema, and his relationship with his girlfriend, Shreya. The mountain ascent forces Jerry to confront themes of legacy, pride, and ultimately a journey toward maturity and self-awareness, with a major emotional turning point involving an act of sacrifice. The film blends action-adventure, romance, and drama against the visually stunning backdrop of the Himalayan region.[7]
