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]

Soundtrack[]

All lyrics are written by Kasthuri Raja; all music is composed by Bharathwaj.

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]
