Fail to extract rar archive

I have a .rar archive. I can open it using Archive Manager. Files are ready to view individually. But it cant extract all of the files inside the archive. The archive consists of a hierarchy of directories which contain some text files along with some video files. Archive Manager can only extract the text file in the last folder, neglecting all of the other files and also the video files inside the last folder. When I extract every folder separately, some of them get extracted correctly, but some others don't get extracted.
