**Introduction **

Extra Ordinary Man is a 2023 Telugu-language action comedy film starring Nithiin and Sreeleela. The film is written and directed by Vakkantham Vamsi, and produced by Sreshth Movies and Ruchira Entertainments1. The film follows the story of Abhinay, a junior artist who dreams of becoming a hero, and his encounter with Nero, a drug lord and musical buff. The film is a mix of humor, romance, action, and drama, with a lot of twists and turns.

**Story Summary**

The film begins with Abhinay narrating his story to Selvamani, a drug lord and a musical buff, who is impressed by his acting skills. Abhinay tells him how he became the CEO of Likitha’s company, and how he got a chance to act as a hero in a film based on true events.  However, the director Rakesh changes his mind and removes Abhinay from the film. Abhinay is heartbroken and goes to a dhaba to drink.  There, he gets into a fight with some goons, who turn out to be the henchmen of Nero, a  notorious criminal and the villain of the film. Abhinay thinks that this is a sign from God, and decides to follow the script of the film in real  life. He assumes the identity of SI Sai Nath  “Saitan”, a fearless cop who challenges Nero to  defeat him. Nero, who is bored of his life, agrees to play along with Abhinay, and makes a pact  with him to raise him as a hero and then kill  him. Abhinay also meets Likitha again, who  pretends to be an orphan and falls in love with him. The rest of the film follows Abhinay’s  adventures as he tries to stop Nero’s crimes,   while also dealing with his family, friends, and the police.

**The Review**

Extra Ordinary Man is a film that tries to be a quirky comedy with a meta twist, but ends up being a flawed and inconsistent entertainer. The film has its bright moments, especially in the first half, where Nithiin shines as the  optimistic and enthusiastic Abhinay, who stays impervious to the insults and rejections he faces from the society and his family. His scenes with Rao Ramesh, who plays his father, are hilarious and relatable. The film also has some catchy songs and decent action sequences, which add to the entertainment value. 

However, the film falters with a simplistic and predictable story, which lacks logic and coherence. The film tries to be a satire on the film industry and the hero-worship culture, but fails to make a strong statement or a convincing commentary. The film also suffers from a weak and uninteresting villain, who is neither menacing nor funny. The film also loses its charm and momentum in the second half, where the screenplay becomes repetitive and boring. The film also has some unnecessary and forced subplots, such as the romance between Abhinay and Likitha, which is bland and cliched. The film also has some illogical and unrealistic scenes, such as the climax, where Abhinay survives a fatal stab and kills Nero in front of the police, who declare him as a cop to save their reputation. 

Overall, Extra Ordinary Man is a partly  engaging comedy drama with decent  performances from Nithiin and Rao Ramesh. The comedy scenes are a big relief. However, the film falters with a simplistic story,  unengaging scenes, and a less compelling  second-half screenplay. The film is a one-time watch for Nithiin fans and comedy lovers, but not a memorable or extraordinary film.
