Dreams (2004 film)

Shakti, a young man, is spoilt by his father and leads a wayward life. However, when he falls in love, he works on changing himself for the better but things take a turn for the worse.

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.[3] 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.[4] 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.[5][6] By the time of the release, the producer Srikanth and director Kasthuri Raja were still engaged in a legal tussle.[7][8]

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".[9][10][11]

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.[12][13][14]
