Story:
Abhinay (Nithiin), a hopeful junior artiste aspiring for a breakthrough, finds himself entangled in a twist of fate when he meets Likitha (Sreeleela), a wealthy woman. Love blossoms, and Abhinay, against the odds, becomes the CEO of her company. The opportunity to step into the hero's shoes finally arrives, but unforeseen circumstances take the story in an unexpected direction. Abhinay, now faced with challenging situations, decides to take matters into his own hands. What unfolds next? What turns Abhinay into a character akin to Satan? The movie promises to unravel these mysteries, shedding light on Abhinay's backstory.
Plus Points:
Nithiin, stepping into a notable role after a considerable time, embraces a character that taps into his comedic prowess. Credit goes to Vakkantham Vamsi for recognizing this potential and sculpting a well-defined character for Nithiin as a junior artiste. The actor's impeccable comic timing and entertaining antics consistently evoke laughter.
Rao Ramesh, once again cast in a role tailored to his strengths, shines, particularly in scenes shared with Nithiin. The duo delivers delightful moments that add depth to the film's comedic elements.
Rajashekar delivers a satisfactory performance within the constraints of his limited role. The comedic contributions of Brahmaji and Hyper Adhi further enhance the film's entertainment quotient.
Minus Points:
Despite a lack of a compelling storyline, "Extra Ordinary Man" leans heavily on its screenplay, which, unfortunately, doesn't wholly compensate for the absence of a robust script. Vakkantham Vamsi seems to prioritize characterizations over a solid narrative, resulting in a film heavily reliant on comedy.
While the story may appear strong on paper, its on-screen execution falls short, with illogical scenes cleverly masked by humor and trendy dialogues.
Sreeleela, once again cast in a role that adds little to her career, seems to be chosen more for her looks and dancing skills than for substantial character development.
Sudev Nair's portrayal of the villain Nero fails to impress, hinting that a more suitable actor could have enhanced the film's impact.
Despite a couple of tolerable songs, the remaining songs act as hindrances to the film's overall flow.
Technical Aspects:
Vakkantham Vamsi shines as a writer to some extent, but a more focused approach to the script, especially in the second half, could have elevated the film. While the comedy scenes inject some humour, an average screenplay keeps it from being a total disappointment.
Harris Jayaraj produces a satisfactory score, yet the enchantment falls short when it comes to the songs. Cinematographers Arthur A. Wilson, Yuvraj J, and Sai Sriram deliver commendable performances. The editing could have been more refined in the second half. The production values, however, stand out positively.
Verdict:
In conclusion, "Extra Ordinary Man" is a partially engaging comedy drama with commendable performances from Nithiin and Rao Ramesh. The comedy scenes offer a significant respite. However, the film falters with a simplistic story, unengaging scenes, and a less compelling second-half screenplay. If you are willing to overlook these aspects, "Extra Ordinary Man" may be worth a try for a light-hearted weekend watch.
