Production
Nenjamellam Neeye is the directorial debut of Rangaraj who had earlier apprenticed with Bharathiraja. Filming took place mostly in Ooty, while a house and studio were shot in Chennai. According to Rangaraj, the Hindi film Abhimaan (1973) was a major influence on this film.
Soundtrack
The music was composed by Shankar–Ganesh. Rangaraj felt it would be good if Ilaiyaraaja was the composer, but desisted from signing him due to budget constraints. The song "Yaaradhu Sollamal" attained popularity.

Reception
Jayamanmadhan of Kalki noted the film reminds of Abhimaan 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. According to Rangaraj, the film was neither a failure nor highly successful.
