EVEREST - Men vs Mountain

"Everest is another beast altogether!" Final word between men and mountain - is always of mountain!!

Based on the real events of the 1996 Mount Everest disaster, Everest mainly shows the survival attempts of two expedition groups when they get hit by a disastrous snow storm on their way down from the summit of Mt. Everest. This disaster drama and adventure thriller takes us on a trip to summit and down with several jaw-dropping moments.

The best thing in the Everest is its breathtaking cinematography. The success of this movie reflects in the feeling that we get while watching it on screen – the feel of an adventure! It’s terrific and it’s horrifying. It’s like the battle between the mountain and men. The every scene from the base camp to the summit is marvelous. Although not entirely shot in Nepal as it is difficult to shoot on the real top, it never feels that it was shot in Italy or some studio.  Well, it is thrilling and astonishing, is the fact.

“The best thing in the life is to change.”

We look at the sky but we walk on the ground, says Laxmi to Ajit. She has desires but she is happy and content with whatever she has in the present. The simple, yet complex elements of life such as love, happiness, compassion and gratefulness are the things that Highway to Dhampus has captured wonderfully.

Elizabeth, a rich socialite trying to change her image visits an orphanage in a village in Nepal with Colt, a photo journalist and Ajit, a sincere helpful pilot cum guide cum translator. Laxmi is a headmistress of the orphanage. With their several meetings onwards, they get connected to each others. The series of events then show how they change – change for the better.

Everyone has the ability to change; life is dynamic and changes are bound to happen. Highway to Dhampus is the tale of ‘change’ – how a person can evolve with the emotions.
