Plot

A touching portrayal of human emotions, Dreams is about Shekhar, a successful film director and Pooja, a simple small town girl who travels to Mumbai with nothing but a bag of dreams. The suave and rich Shekhar helps realize them for her. "DREAMS" is an interesting narrative of the journey of being a 'nobody' to becoming a 'somebody'; a journey into the limelight where you realize there is no one who is truly yours - often the price associated with being a "star".
