Despite achieving three profitable ventures in his first three films, Dhanush's following films all failed, damaging his status as a lead actor in Tamil films. The first failure was his first action film, Pudhukottaiyilirundhu Saravanan opposite Aparna Pillai, which despite receiving a Telugu dubbing, was lamented by critics as a "poor film".

This was followed by Ramana Madhesh's Sullan, which received negative reviews cliaming that Dhanush could not fit into the mould of an action hero due to his slim physique.Sullan However the film, which had Sindhu Tolani as the lead heroine, was dubbed into Telugu as Maurya.

The third and most-criticized failure was Dreams alongside two new heroines. The film directed by his father, like their previous venture was released with reviews claiming it was another adult film. This hampered the film's progress, and the film remains Dhanush's biggest failure til date.

A critic praised Dhanush's relaistic portrayal, claiming that "as the innocent boy who transmogrifies into a bloody criminal, Dhanush is utterly believable. The subtle changes in his body language and his ability to give every expression a deeper meaning make the character more interesting.

This is certainly one of his better performances." The film which became universally critically praised, failed to relate to Tamil Nadu audiences and eneded up being an average grosser at the box-office, despite the positive reviews. The film fared marginally better, in the Telugu dubbed version, titled Dhoolpet.
