It is a commercial movie even from the introductory track.Harsha, who has followed the original story and introduced more stunt scenes and enough family drama. He seems to have had set a formula in mind, and he has stuck to it religiously for the star's fans. Though a familiar plot, Harsha, who is working with Puneeth Rajkumar for the first time, has done a fairly decent job. On a parallel track, we see Viraj falling in love with Geetha (Rashmika Mandanna). When villains strike, he hits back and the film concludes with a predictable climax. This is a decision he took following an instruction from his mother Anjanadri Devi (Ramya Krishnan). Viraj (Puneeth Rajkumar) is heir to the Raj Group of Companies, yet lives out his house and runs a money-lending business.

This is a revenge-and-family drama, and mostly runs on close bond between a mother and son. It story was inspired by the Tamil flick Poojai, and the Kannada version has its high and low-points. Harsha directorial is a good mix of artistic value and commercial entertainment.Customised for fans of Puneeth Rajkumar, the film is an out-and-out action drama that has the right balance of humour and family drama. Once in a while, we get to watch true-blue potboilers and Anjaniputra is one such.
