Purja - Invincible

 Nirmal Purja is unbelievable. A Gurkha endurance athlete that scaled the world's fourteen highest peaks in less than 7 months. And with a generous dose of humanity (read rescues) and HACE along the way too. A man whose endurance beats the world's greatest athletes. A SBS recruit and sniper survivor, and one who says that the unremembered Gurkhas needed to make their point by doing their own great climb, sans ingrate White climbers. Unmissable and beyond inspiring is 14 Peaks (Documentary - Netflix)

Tadap (Hindi)

A one sided romance and act of pure deception. A movie that limps along and then suddenly finds its legs in a good read of human emotion. Ishaan (Ahan Shetty) and Ruksana (Tara Sutaria) are literally no match for each other

13.5/20

Dune - Resurrected

 In a huge improvement from David Lynch's version, Denis Villeneuve brings the realpolitik of Dune back to the big screen. Uncluttered and far more nuanced than the likes of Star Wars, with none of the pedantic Star Trek genre nor the incessant intrigue of Game of Thrones, Dune is faithful to the storyline. Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) and Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson) flee from the aftermath of a Harkonnen plus Federation attack, to regroup and reclaim what is owed to him, through an alliance with the Fremen. After a long time, a movie thats definitely a must watch
