Ramu, the head of Ramu Enterprises, teamed up with the Telugu film writer Akul Shiva to direct his debut Kannada film in late 2008. He roped in actor Chiranjeevi Sarja to play the lead role. Actress Ragini Dwivedi was also approached and signed into the team. The film was announced to be basically set in a college campus background. The unit shot two songs in and around Singapore for about eight days.{{cite web|url=https://www.indiaglitz.com/-gandedhe-in-singapore-kannada-news-56019|title='Gandedhe' in Singapore|work=Indiaglitz|date= 9 April 2010}}

Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana of Rediff.com scored the film at 1 out of 5 stars and says "Music is by Chakri. Songs fail to make an impact and the lyrics don't help in the least. Most songs come with a heard-it-before feel too. What's more is that they add to the length of the film. Overdramatic dialogues and scenes like the one in which an immersed Ganesha idol helps the hero, who has been thrown into a river by goons, to recover, spoil things further. All in all, a confusing potboiler".{{cite web|url=https://m.rediff.com/amp/movies/review/south-kannada-review-gandedhe/20100730.htm|title=Gandedhe is for the 'brave hearts' only!|work=Rediff.com|date=30 July 2010}} A critic from Sify.com wrote "Chakri's music is a big let down. Mujeeb's photography is nothing spectacular though the fight sequences are well choreographed. 'Gandedhe' is a predictable fare with just some good fight scenes thrown in".{{cite web |title='Gandedhe' - old story, poor direction (Kannada Film Review) |url=http://www.sify.com/movies/gandedhe-old-story-poor-direction-kannada-film-review-news-national-kh5pOcdebcesi.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181118081632/http://www.sify.com/movies/gandedhe-old-story-poor-direction-kannada-film-review-news-national-kh5pOcdebcesi.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=2018-11-18 |website=Sify |language=en}}
