Extra Ordinary Man

Telugu cinema has only few writers who are quite adept at amalgamating quirkiness within the story and be able to harness it to unlock the potential of screenplay and Vakkantham Vamsi is one of them.

The justification of the title "Hero playing an extra in films and the dichotomy of it being an ordinary job, birthing to Extraordinary Man title" is a testament to director's explicit style.

Gladly, actor Nithin who surprisingly belongs to the same tribe off late, collaborates with Vamshi to deliver a quirky, relatable breezy film with a very ambitious yet underwhelming second half.

It might not work out well throughout, but Extraordinary Man has it moments. Vakkantham Vamsi's unconventional proclivity towards creating a fictious second half where Hero assumes an identity and pushes the fellow characters into oblivion actually thwarts the film's potential to be unique and ends up feeling stretched.

Nonetheless, the film has it bright moments, soaring above all is the Protagonist's characterization which stands tall in the first half as an extremely optimistic human being who stays impervious to countless slurs and comments hurled at him by the society and family alike.

In this film, Vakkantham Vamsi flaunts his greatest strength i.e. Hero characterization and hits a bullseye with it. Wish we could have a spin off on hero's journey as an extra alone.

Nithin proves to be irreplaceable in his role as a hustling extra and incites positivity through his palpable performance. The sound, especially songs of the film's, exalt the film's standards leaving in wanting more.

There are many things in the film I wish the film the Filmmaker would've done differently. More emphasis on hero's characterization, juxtaposition of "screenplay within screenplay" act in the second half and better usage of supporting characters. Perhaps, Vakkantham Vamsi should follow his instincts and furnish his filmmaking prowess more and go ahead, success will eventually follows. Nonetheless, the writer deserves highest praise for designing a character who brushes off all the negativity around thrown at him and continues to pursue his dream with smile. Wish the film dwelled more on it and made the hero more three dimensional.

In conclusion, Extraordinary Man offers what it promises, and deserves a watch!!!

Special mention to the song "Brush Vesko" for it's stunning cinematography, vibrant costumes, dexterous production design, ruminating lyrics, nifty choreography, protagonist's appearance, harmonious tune and stupendous sound quality.

They don't orchestrate songs like these anymore. I wish they had.

Gonna cherish this song for a long time.

Worst movie that I ever watched in my life. Waste of time, i have severe headache after watching this movie, it just makes us mad. I am just thinking how can someone make such movies. Please stop making such movies. First half is little better and fun, rest of the movie makes us mad. Bad direction, please do not create such movies in the name of comedy. I wonder how even actors have accepted to do such movie. It is so frustrating to watch such movie, my peace of mind is lost after watching this movie. We watch movies for entertainment but such movies gives us headache. Please stop making such movies.

Guys honestly speaking we have a lot of people watching daily shows and soap operas . They are often inconsistent and often very monotonous .Yet people are so addicted to it seldom get bored of them shows, After watching the trailer of this movie I personally thought this movie would be an addition to those stupid shows . But I'm glad that the movie has completely disappointed me . The comedy in this movie was so Organic that it made me wonder if I was watching "Bheeshma" . Also they included many of the Instagram reels and trends into dialogues which made it more watchable. Though It had(same old TFI overhyped) fights it was fine till the interval block where I suspected that the director lost the grip of the film and second half will be reckless. But again I was disappointed because the comedy in the later half was ample enough to get us of our seats with a smile . Now the heroine has nothing to offer except for few songs which were not even catchy and the antagonist is shown lacking wit. But you will only notice that until you see an unprecedented cameo appearance of a former star. Overall this movie goes well with Race Gurram , Doosukelta,Dhee and Bheeshma, where there is no wit or logic but gives full entertainment.

The film, undeniably entertaining, offers a two-hour escape into amusement, despite the occasional inclusion of seemingly illogical scenes. To fully relish this cinematic experience, viewers are encouraged to momentarily set aside the pursuit of logic and embrace the light-hearted fun it promises. The lead actor delivers a commendable performance, complemented by the sheer beauty of the heroine. However, the portrayal of the hero's father tends to verge on the excessive, while Srikanth Ayyangar's role, though fitting, remains relatively inconsequential.

Adi and Brahmaji's second foray into comedy proves noteworthy. Sampath's impeccable comic timing further enhances the comedic elements. The songs, with the exception of one, can be easily overlooked, while the energetic dance sequences by the heroine remain a consistent highlight.

RajShekar's role, while not significantly impactful, potentially lays the groundwork for diverse roles in his future endeavors. The movie, while interspersed with numerous silly scenes, manages to salvage them within the context of comedy. It is, overall, a worthwhile one-time watch suitable for family audiences, promising an enjoyable experience.

Extra Ordinary Man starring Nithiin, presents an intriguing premise that unfortunately doesn't fully live up to its potential. The film attempts to blend romance, comedy, and action, but the execution often falls short, leaving me feeling a bit underwhelmed despite the film's promising concept and the charismatic lead.

Nithiin delivers a commendable performance, bringing his usual charm and energy to the role. His presence on screen is engaging, and he does his best to carry the film with his charisma. However, even his efforts are not enough to overcome some of the film's shortcomings. The chemistry between Nithiin and the lead actress is serviceable, though it lacks the spark needed to elevate the romantic subplot. The supporting cast also does a decent job, but their characters often feel underdeveloped, which detracts from the overall narrative impact.

One of the significant weaknesses of the film is its screenplay. The story struggles to maintain a consistent tone, jumping between genres without fully committing to any of them. This inconsistency makes it difficult to stay fully invested in the plot, as the shifts in tone can be jarring. The humor, which is supposed to be one of the film's strengths, is hit-or-miss. Some comedic moments land well, while others fall flat, feeling forced or out of place.

The pacing of the film is another issue. At times, it feels like the narrative meanders, losing momentum in the middle sections. The film could have benefited from tighter editing to keep the story more focused and engaging. As a viewer, I found myself wishing for a stronger narrative drive to keep the excitement alive throughout the film.

The action sequences are competently staged but lack the originality and impact that could have made them memorable. The choreography is standard, and while the stunts are well-executed, they don't bring anything new to the table. The film's climax, which should have been the highlight, feels predictable and lacks the emotional weight needed for a satisfying resolution.

Despite these negatives, there are moments where the film shines. The film's production values are impressive, with well-shot scenes and visually appealing settings. The music, while not particularly memorable, complements the film's mood and adds to the overall atmosphere.

In conclusion, this is a film with potential that remains largely untapped. While Nithiin's performance and the film's production values are positives, the inconsistent screenplay and pacing issues prevent it from being truly extraordinary. It's an entertaining watch for fans of Nithiin and those looking for a light-hearted diversion, but it may not leave a lasting impression on audiences seeking a more compelling cinematic experience.
