Anna Bond is the second Puneeth Rajkumar movie with Duniya Soori after the acclaimed and highly successful 2010 film Jackie.[11][12] The film was officially launched on 7 October 2011, a day after the release of Puneet's film Paramathma,[6] and filming commenced on 10 October.[13] Being a big budget film, it is said to have a story with a revolutionary concept, but with the entertainment quotient intact and a lot of graphics to support its narration.[14]

It is the 80th film of Kannada thespian Dr. Rajkumar's production unit, Poornima Enterprises. The technical team was the same one that worked for Jackie, including V. Harikrishna for music, Shashidhar Adapa for art, Sathya Hegde for cinematography and Imran Sardhariya for choreography.[6] There were five songs, with lyrics penned by Yogaraj Bhat, Jayanth Kaikini and Kaviraj.

The film was shot in Bangalore, Coorg and Kanakapura.[15] The film unit also shot two songs in Spain among the fanfare of locals to watch the song and dance.[16]

Critical Reception

The film received generally mixed reviews from critics. A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars and says "Puneet, who looks smart and has delivered an amazing performance. Priyamani, too, impresses with her expressions and dialogue delivery. Nidhi Subbaiah is lively. Jackie Shroff is the right choice for Charlie's role. Rangayana Raghu's comic track has clicked. Music by V Harikrishna has some excellent catchy tunes to the lyrics of Yograj Bhat, Jayant Kaikini and Chi. Udayashankar".[17] Srikanth Srinivasa from Rediff.com scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Cinematographer Satya Hegde's frames are superb and tight. His camera work sets the tone for the film although he doesn't get much support from the story. But director Suri has not come out of his Jackie fixation. Stay clear of this film if you are not a Puneeth fan!".[18] Shruti I. L from DNA wrote "Full marks to Imran Sardaria for innovative choreography. Music director Harikrishna also delivers. Kaanadante Mayava-denu... sung by Puneet and Boni agada… are the most entertaining of the lot.  Watch Anna Bond if you are a Puneet fan! Period".[19] B S Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote "There’s still a possibility of Appu turning “desi” Bond, like his illustrious father – under Soori’s direction, romancing and fighting across pristine locales of Karnataka. Any takers?".[20] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote  "The saving grace is the music by Harikrishna and lyrics by Bhat and Jayant Kaikini. However, the picturisation does not live up to the expectations. Even the remix of Chi Udayashankar’s classic Kaanadante Maayavadenu loses its innocence, though Puneeth sings it again after 30 years".[21] A critic from The Hindu wrote "Puneet leads the way and Rangayana Raghu and Ninasam Satish are brilliant. Jackie Shroff is a huge letdown and his Kannada is intolerable. As Nidhi Subbaiah's character is as slim as her physique, it is not fair to expect anything from her. Priyamani is good to some extent".[22] A critic from The New Indian Express wrote "Soori has managed to balance comedy and love with good screenplay in the first half of ‘Anna Bond’. But, he could not hold the grip in the second half. Director has concentrated more on the technical aspects of the film".[23]
