The movie had a theatrical run of 25 weeks and was declared a ''Blockbuster''. The movie was one of the most notable Ravichandran movies of the 1980s. Anjada Gandu was the second highest grossing Kannada movie of the year 1988 after [[Ranadheera]], another movie which featured both [[V. Ravichandran|Ravichandran]] and [[Khushbu]] as the lead pair.

==Plot==
Ravichandran is the son of a rich businessman (Srinivasa Murthy) and is given to profligate ways. He is shown spending money wantonly in a club. He has concern for the poor people. He is shown breaking the window of a car when its owner does not pay a [[coconut]] vendor. He also thrashes a gang of unruly men in an upscale club when one of them mistreats the waiter. His catchphrase in this phase is shown to be "piece, piece" or alternatively "ella, piece piece" describing the state in which the target of his anger is left.{{Clarify|date=November 2011}}

His father is naturally angry with such behavior and feels that a spell in a village with his old school friend, Rudrappa (Thoogudeepa Srinivas) who has since been in the army will do the boy good. And therefore sends him off to a village, Tavarekere with an introductory letter which does not reveal that he is his son but only says that he is in need of some guidance for a year and that he should be taught some daily chores.

Doddanna and Mukhyamantri Chandru are businessmen who are trying to acquire land in the same village. Mukhyamantri Chandru's daughter Khushboo is arrogant due to her wealth. How Gopi interacts with all these people and ensures justice while at the same time winning hearts forms the rest of the story.

==Legacy==
The movie was a huge success and elevated the career of the actor [[V. Ravichandran|Ravichandran]] who had earlier given a fresh hit through [[Premaloka]]. Moreover, the success of the movie and [[Ranadheera]] released in the same year made [[V. Ravichandran|Ravichandran]] and [[Khushbu]] a ''star pair''. [[Anjada Gandu (2014 film)|2014 Kannada movie]] had its title inspired by this movie.
