Plot

[edit | edit source]

Bond Ravi, a karate trainer and a reflexologist in Shingapoore, meets Meera on a bus and falls in love with her. One day, Meera and her sister Divya seeks Ravi's help to make a documentary film. Before leaving Shingapoore, Meera tells Ravi to achieve something in life. Ravi and his friend Chapathi Babu leave Shingapoore. On the way, a military person takes the duo to the house of Major Chandrakanth and orders them to tend to his wounds.

Charlie, a crime boss and terrorist, attacks Chandrakanth's house and brutally inquires about his daughter as Charlie's daughter was adopted by Chandrakanth. Bond Ravi helps Chandrakanth by knocking out Charlie, but Charlie escapes. Ravi and Meera, revealed to be Chandrakanth's daughter, grow closer and they begin a relationship. While looking for his daughter, Charlie kills Divya as he assumed her to be Chandrakanth's daughter, but Chandrakanth reveals that Divya is actually Charlie's daughter.

An enraged Charlie kidnaps Meera to make him understand the pain of losing his daughter. Ravi learns about this and interrogates Charlie's subordinates about his hideout. Ravi finds out about Charlie's hideout, arrives at the hideout and engages in a cage fight with Charlie's henchman. Ravi defeats the henchmen and defeats Charlie. Ravi and Charlie play a game of death in which Ravi kills Charlie, destroys the hideout and reunites with Meera. In the aftermath, Ravi continues his vigilante activities as Anna Bond.

Development

[edit | edit source]

Anna Bond marks the second collaboration of Puneeth Rajkumar and Duniya Soori after Jackie.[10][11] The film was officially launched on 7 October 2011, a day after the release of Paramathma, and filming commenced on 10 October 2011. Being a high budget film, the film is said to have a story with a revolutionary concept, but with the entertainment quotient intact and a lot of computer graphics to support its narration.[6][12][13] It is the 80th film of Poornima Enterprises and the technical team was the same one that worked for Jackie, including V. Harikrishna as music composer, Shashidhar Adapa as art director, Sathya Hegde as cinematographer and Imran Sardhariya for dance choreographer.[6] There are five songs in the film, with lyrics penned by Yogaraj Bhat, Jayanth Kaikini and Kaviraj.

Filming

Reception

[edit | edit source]

Anna Bond received mixed reviews from critics with praise for its acting, cinematography, music and action sequences, but criticised its script.[citation needed]

Critical response

[edit | edit source]

The Times of India gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Director Suri has chosen good action with a romantic touch, with Puneeth Rajkumar at his best."[17] Srikanth Srinivasa of Rediff gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Anna Bond is wholly an action film despite a prominent romantic track in the film."[18]

The Hindu wrote "Anna Bond satiates Puneeth Rajkumar's fans with thrilling action, lavish dances, picturesque locations and the star's omnipresence, but it disappoints those who expect Suri's signature style."[19] The New Indian Express wrote "Soori has concentrated more on the technical aspects of the film, especially in the action sequences, with lesser importance given to the storyline."[20]
