Nenjamellam Neeye is the directorial debut of Rangaraj who had earlier apprenticed withBharathiraja. Filming took place mostly inOoty, while a house and studio were shot inChennai. According to Rangaraj, theHindi filmAbhimaan (1973) was a major influence on this film.[1]
The music was composed byShankar–Ganesh.[2][3] Rangaraj felt it would be good ifIlaiyaraaja was the composer, but desisted from signing him due to budget constraints.[1] The song "Yaaradhu Sollamal" attained popularity.[4][1]

Jayamanmadhan ofKalki noted the film reminds ofAbhimaan due to its predictable plot and characterisations and praised Rangaraj's direction, citing he has become adept at suddenly putting sudden brakes on the story and turning it around. Jayamanmadhan noted about Ravibabu's cinematography that in some places there is a wax pattern and in some places it glows like a sodium lamp, panned Haja Sheriff's humour as vulgar but praised Shankar–Ganesh's music.[5] According to Rangaraj, the film was neither a failure nor highly successful.[1]
