Bond Ravi aka Ravi is a generous youngster, who has the tendency of helping others. He is a kung-fu champion and also works as a Reflexologist of Shingapoore, Karnataka. He meets Meera on a bus and falls in love with her. One day, Meera visits the same village where Ravi lives in order to make a documentary film. She stays with her sister Divya. When Meera is about to leave the village, She tells him to achieve something big in life.

Ravi, along with Chapathi Babu, leaves his village. On the way, he meets a military personnel, who is ordered to tend the wounds of an army Major named Chandrakanth. A sudden shoot begins from a crime boss and terrorist named Charlie. Bond Ravi helps Chandrakanth by knocking Charlie when he tried to kill Chandrakanth. Ravi and Meera (who is revealed to be Chandrakanth's daughter) grow closer and they begin a relationship.

Meanwhile, Charlie is in lookout for his daughter who thinks that his daughter is with Chandrakanth. Charlie, while hunting for his daughter, kills Divya (assuming her to be Chandrakanth's daughter) where Chandrakanth reveals that Divya is actually Charlie's daughter. Enraged, Charlie kidnaps Meera. Ravi tries to locate Charlie by interrogating the subordinates by donning the name Anna Bond where he finds Charlie's hideout and engages in a cage fight with Charlie's henchman and defeats them.

The film received generally mixed reviews from critics.

The New Indian Express wrote, "Anna Bond is filled with a powerful action, good screenplay and crisp dialogues with lesser importance given to the storyline. It is indeed another masala flick in which Puneeth makes his presence felt in almost every frame with his bulky body and eye-popping action sequences."[17]

The Times of India gave the film 3.5 stars on 5, calling it The Best gift in 2012 for Puneet fans. It was further mentioned that Director Suri had chosen good action stuff with a romantic touch, with Puneet Rajkumar at his best. The first half of the film was praised for its neat narration the latter half was lauded for the action sequences.[18]

Sify gave 2.5 stars saying that the film is not even a 'paisa vasool' masala entertainer but a boring action movie.[19]

Srikanth Srinivasa of Rediff on a review made on 2 May 2012, gave 2.5 stars on 5, mentioning that Anna Bond is strictly for Puneet fans. He also criticised the act of glorifying violence in the film.[20]

News 18 gave the film 2.5 stars on 5, calling Anna Bond a boring film. The film received criticism for its weak screenplay and narrative structure while the action and song sequences, background score, cinematography and Puneet's dialogue delivery received great praise.[21]

Shruthi I. L. of DNA wrote "Watch Anna Bond if you are a Puneet Rajkumar fan!" and gave 2 stars.[22] B. S. Srivani of Deccan Herald gave a negative review and criticised it for glorifying vulgar violence.[23]

Indiaglitz gave the film a score of 6.5 on 10, calling it a paisa vasool entertainer and a film for action film lovers. Music director V. Harikrishna and cinematographer Sathya Hegde received praise for their work.[24]

Chitraloka called the film a mixed bag of sorts appreciating the technical prowness, musical score, choreography, cinematography and action sequences while criticising Suri's screenplay.[25]

Bangalore Mirror praised the camerawork and musical score while criticising the flimsy storyline and the violence and ghore embedded in the plot. It was referred to as a tailor-made film for Puneet fans and was compared to the 2009 Puneeth film Raaj.[26]

According to The Hindu, "The much-awaited Anna Bond lives up to expectations on at least one count. It satiates Puneet Rajkumar fans with thrilling actions, lavish dances, picturesque locations and the star's omnipresence. But it disappoints those who expect Suri'a signature style." It was further pointed out that the film was hero centric rather than director centric and is an example of a creative director losing confidence in himself and taking the much-trodden commercial path.[27]
