== Reception == A critic from ''The Times of India'' wrote that "A meaningless first half and a brilliant second half with a good script and excellent narration mark the second venture of director Janardhan".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/anjadiru/movie-review/4263790.cms|title=Anjadiru Movie Review|work=The Times of India|access-date=2023-12-15|archive-date=2023-12-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231204063247/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/anjadiru/movie-review/4263790.cms|url-status=live}}</ref> A critic from ''Bangalore Mirror'' wrote that "''Anjadiru'' stands out for its believable characterisation without much of the heroism we seen in most films. But what slows the film at times is Prashant and Muralidhar's incapability to shoulder the scenes effectively. Try ''Anjadiru'' if you are bored of the regular stuff but do not expect a miracle".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/anjadiru-fresh-story-stale-actors/articleshow/22195781.cms|title=Anjadiru: Fresh story, stale actors|website=Bangalore Mirror|access-date=2023-12-15|archive-date=2023-12-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231204062043/https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/anjadiru-fresh-story-stale-actors/articleshow/22195781.cms|url-status=live}}</ref> R.
