Production

The project was launched shortly after the success of Thulluvadho Ilamai in 2002, but as Dhanush's Kaadhal Kondein became a large success, Dreams was stalled temporarily as Dhanush's dates became blocked.[2] The film ran into a legal tussle with the makers of his other film, Sullan, with the producers adamant that Dreams was released first although to no avail.[3] The film's delay meant that Dhanush shot ten straight days for the project to complete it, while the delay also had resulted in failings in continuity.[4][5] By the time of the release, the producer Srikanth and director Kasthuri Raja were still engaged in a legal tussle.[6][7]

Release

The film upon release in November 2004 gained unanimously poor reviews from critics. A critic described that the "film is poor pastiche of double meanings, bedroom scenes and a few other vulgar segments", criticizing all aspects and giving it a verdict as a "dull and laborious film".[8]

The film opened simultaneously with two successful ventures, Ajith's Attahasam and Simbu's Manmadhan and subsequently Dreams started slowly and eventually became a colossal failure.[9][10][11]

gollark: 'Tis the is-ought problem.
gollark: Somewhat more implicitly.
gollark: This is just assuming some underlying system of ethics, though.
gollark: You can argue that people's motivations might reduce to that but I don't believe that that's the day to day reasoning.
gollark: But substitute "fear of loss of general choice" or "fear of violent enforcement" or "fear of coercion" or something for "fear of death" and I think it sort of works.
