Sakthi moves to a new village after his mother, a postmaster, gets transferred. He befriends a childless couple and falls in love with Thanikodi, a butcher's daughter.
Following the release of Kidaari (2016), Sasikumar announced that he would produce and star in a film to be directed by newcomer Prakash. The film began production in mid September 2016. [1] [2] It was completed in a single schedule of 50 days, taking place mainly in Theni. The title Balle Vellaiyathevaa was derived from a dialogue in Veerapandiya Kattabomman (1959). [3]
The music was composed by Darbuka Siva. [4] [5] Karthik of Milliblog wrote, "Darbuka Siva's second outing is a surprisingly middling effort, particularly coming after the wonderful Kidari!". [6]

Film critic Baradwaj Rangan wrote for The Hindu , "There's no effort in any department of filmmaking, and we're just left with the sight of M Sasikumar angling for an easy B/C-centre hit. No one can grudge him that, and not every film can be a [ Subramaniapuram ], but is a little quality control too much to expect?". [9] M. Suganth of The Times of India wrote, "Bale Vellaya Theva wants to be a simple rural comedy with minimal stakes, but what it eventually turns out to be is a plotless film where neither the comedy nor the drama works". [10] Samayam gave the film a rating of 2 stars out of 5. [11]
