Production[edit]
In 1965, when K. Balachander was "just getting his bearings in the film industry", his household was excited because Sowcar Janaki, a star, was due to visit their house. This incident laid the foundation for Bhale Kodallu,[4] which was written and directed by Balachander,[1] and produced by S. S. Vasan under Gemini Studios.[5] It was simultaneously filmed in Tamil as Bama Vijayam,[6] with a slightly different cast.[7] The final length of the film was 4,767 metres (15,640 ft).[1]

The soundtrack was composed by M. S. Viswanathan, while the lyrics were written by C. Narayana Reddy.[3]
