An orphan and good hearted lad Kanthi (Duniya Vijay) is adopted and grows up under Ramachandrappa (Srinivasa Murthy) family care in Bangalore. The bond they share is like father and son. Kasturi (Rishika Singh) is Ramachandrappa's granddaughter, and she likes Kanthi a lot. Once a week, Kanthi meets a mentally challenged girl named Indhira (Shubha Poonja). He entertains her and provides money for her caretakers.
When Ramachandrappa and his wife (Sangeeta) discover Kasturi wants to marry Kanthi, Ramachandrappa decides to get them married. He makes a formal announcement to officially adopt Kanthi. At this time, it is revealed that Kanthi is very close to Indu. The alliance breaks off when Kanthi refuses to leave Indu (who is suspected to be his mistress).

Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana from Rediff.com scored the film at 2 out of 5 stars and says "Music by Chakri is okay though a song on female deities backed by folk music stands out. 'Fight' your way through crime is what Kanteerava says. Yes, action is what dominates the film".[2] A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Vijay is amazing in his fighting and sentimental sequences. Shubha Poonja impresses with a lively performance. Rishika Singh makes a positive beginning in her first acting essay. Yamuna is a treat to watch. Srinivasamurthy is graceful. Cinematography by Dasari Seenu and music by Chakri are good".[3] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote "The background music is loud and hampers a decent sleep while watching the film. The camerawork is better than most other aspects of the film. Sukadhare’s break from filmmaking has not worked for him or the audience".[4] Svetlana Mary Lasrado from Deccan Herald wrote "Rishika as a newbie has done justice to her role. Vijay steals the thunder with his dialogue delivery and fights. For good dose of action, Kanteerava does strike a chord".[5]
