The film was directed by debutant Sriram Adittya. He also mentioned in the announcement that he liked the script narrated by the director who immediately agreed to the job. In February 2015 Shamdat Seinhudeen, of Uttama Villain and Vishwaroopam 2, was announced as the cinematographer, Sunny M.R. as music director and Ramakrishna S as production designer. The formal Puja happened on 7 March 2015 in the 70mm Entertainments office. The official shoot commenced on 11 March 2015 at the citizens' hospital, where some important scenes were filmed. The shoot continued in locations of Hyderabad.

In April 2015, a marriage song was choreographed by Suchitra Chandrabose and a few scenes were filmed on a grand set at the Maryada Ramanna house. Regular filming continued from May to July, which resulted in 70% of the filming being completed. The first screening of the movie was organized on the birthday of Mahesh Babu on 7 August. Senior actor Saikumar joined the cast and reportedly played a very important role in the movie, which would result in a complete change of character in his career. Filming was completed in September by completing a romantic song choreographed by Chinni Prakash. A grand set was made for this song at Ramakrishna Studios by production designer Ramakrishna. The film's official teaser was launched on 6 November 2015 at the Prasad Film Labs and gained a very positive response from the media and the public. The soundtrack of the movie was launched by Mahesh Babu on 25 November at a grand event at Shilpakala Vedika.

The movie was released on 25 December 2015 amidst competition from several other big hits in the same year, but it stood as the front-runner due to positive reviews from critics and viewers. The movie remained the last hit movie of 2015 charts. The film was dubbed in Hindi as Kasam Uparwale Ki.

Critical reception

Haricharan of Bangalore Mirror gave the film 4/5 stars and wrote, "The film, which could be easily described as a crime comedy, offers more than just entertainment [...] Bhale Manchi Roju ends the year for Telugu cinema with a bang. It may have been last release of 2015 but this is, hands down, the best film of the year." Pranita Jonnalagedda of The Times of India gave it 3.5/5 stars and wrote, "Fresh yet intelligent, simple yet appealing, here’s a film which gives you what you are in search of – entertainment, and that too without trying too hard."

Jeevi of Idlebrain.com rated the film 3/5 and wrote, "Plus points of the film are story, screenplay and technicians. On the flip side, the narrative style and orientation (dark narrative, over-indulgence in slow motion technique, overbearing background music etc) mars the experience." A critic from Sakshi gave the film a positive review, noting that the plus points of the film are the lead actors and the comedy, while the negative aspects are the slow narration and the songs.
