The film stars him, Rajesh and Ambika, with Kallapetti Singaram and Master Haja Sheriff in supporting roles. It revolves around a woman (Ambika) who is forced into an arranged marriage with a widower (Rajesh), but still longs for her first love (Bhagyaraj).
The story of Andha 7 Naatkal was inspired by the life of the comedian J. P. Chandrababu; his marriage had failed after his wife revealed to him that she was in love with someone else. The film was produced by P. S. Jayaraman and M. Nachiappan for Srini Creations and Sathya Jyothi Films . The music was composed by M. S. Viswanathan, cinematography was handled by P. Ganesh Pandian, and editing by R. Bhaskaran.

It became a trendsetter in Tamil cinema for highlighting the importance of traditional values and their relevance in society. The film was remade in Telugu as Radha Kalyanam (1981), in Hindi as Woh Saat Din (1983), and in Kannada as Love Maadi Nodu (1989).
