Extra Ordinary Man movie review In Telugu: Vakkantham Vamsi contributed the story to hit movies like ‘Kick’, ‘Osaravelli’, ‘Evadu’, ‘Resu Gurram’, and ‘Temper’. He became a director with ‘Na Parama Surya, Na Illu India’. It did not achieve the expected success. But, Allu Arjun’s character got a good name. After that, he took a break and did ‘Extraordinary Man’. This is a film starring Nitin and Sri Leela. Rajasekhar played a key role in this. How is this movie?
Extra Ordinary Man Movie Story:
Abhi (Nithin) is a junior artist. Apart from his father, he does not care if anyone scolds or mocks him. The goal of life is to always come from the background to the front of the camera. During the drunk and drive check, the owner of a big company meets Likhita (Sri Leela).
She falls in love with solving problems. Abhi will be the CEO of the company. At that time, Father Somasekhar (Rao Ramesh) breaks his leg puts aside his hope of becoming an actor, and starts working. While everything is going on happily, an assistant director, whom he met while posing as a junior artist, comes.
Abhi comes to him saying that he has written a story based on the real incidents on the Andhra-Orissa border, in which he will act as the hero. He leaves his family, lover, and job. Takes training for a few days. If it is cut…the director will be ready to make a film with another hero, keeping Abhi aside. Not knowing what to do, the drug-taking hero gets into a fight with the younger brother of the real villain, Nero (Sudev Nair).
After that, he goes to their village as SS Sainath (Nitin). What happened after that? What did IG Vijay Chakraborty (Rajasekhar) do? Does Sainath alias Abhi’s family and girlfriend know that he is not shooting but acting as an essayist? Did Nero, Vijay Chakraborty, and the people of that area know that he was a junior artist? Or? What finally happened? is a movie.
Extra Ordinary Man Movie Analysis:
In Vakkantham Vamsi’s stories, the hero characterization is designed as something special. Even though the story is regular, the hero’s character & characterization make the scenes fresh. The reason why Kick and Temper clicked is because of those characterizations! Coming to ‘Extraordinary Man’… the hero’s habit is to give a superb performance in any situation. He does an extra in an ordinary scene. What did such a junior artist do if he went as an essay? It is an interesting & curiosity-creating topic.
Entertainment… Entertainment… Entertainment… ‘Extraordinary Man’ Start to End Vakkantham Vamsi concentrates only on comedy. In that order, the story was put aside. Actually, there is no relation between the tone with which the film starts and the tone with which it ends. Comedy scenes in between will entertain the masses.
Surprisingly, a hero with a clean image like Nitin occasionally works out a bit of double-meaning fun. Vakkantham Vamsi provided remarkable entertainment in the first half regardless of the story… After the interval, it went into a more routine format and there were boring moments amidst the fun. The characterization didn’t click there.
One of Harris Jayaraj’s songs is ‘Danger Pilla’. ‘Ole Ole Papai’ mass beat B, C center can impress the audience. Background music is just ok. Three cinematographers worked on the film. The camera work is ok. There are many scenes where the editor has to work with the scissors. If cut to half an hour, the film would have run a little in commercial format. The production values are good. Nitin’s father and elder sister being producers, there was no compromise on the cost.
Extra Ordinary Man Movie Actors Performance:
Couldn’t anyone but Nitin have played the role of the junior artiste!? There are no scenes where he challenges as an actor. He did a few scenes aside from being a hero. He imitated his mannerisms in front of Rajasekhar. They danced to a song like ‘Na Petty Taalam’. They did whatever the character & director demanded. Two shades were shown before the interval, one after the other.
Rajasekhar’s special appearance is good. His character was introduced as powerful. But, not at that level after that. Every time Rajasekhar appeared on screen, it was a fun workout. If a sequel is made, his role will be highlighted.
Sri Leela’s character seems to be more for the guest… less for the heroine’s role! Limited to just two or three scenes and songs. The scenes between Nitin and Rao Ramesh are laughable. Rao Ramesh also impresses with typical mannerisms. Rohini is seen as a regular mother who shows love to her son. Sudev Nair is the typical villain role. His acting could be more set. Overdone. And… Brahmaji, ‘Hyper’ Adi, Sivannarayana, Srikanth Iyengar, and Ravi Varma have acted according to the scope of their roles.
In conclusion: Logics, magics, and story aside… ‘Extraordinary Man’ is a fun and funny movie. If you watch it just for comedy… it laughs in parts. Don’t expect more than that. It is a comedy film targeting the mass audience only. Just for extra fun!
