			The film explores the [[Middle East]] boom that happened in [[Kerala]] in the late seventies and early eighties, when people started to go there in search of jobs with a higher pay. The film explores this through Rajagopal ([[Sukumaran]]) who goes to the middle east as an illegal immigrant to support his family.<ref>{{Citation \|last=Azad \|first=M. \|title=Vilkkanundu Swapnangal \|date=1980-05-16 \|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0214284/?ref_=tt_urv \|type=Drama \|publisher=Marunadan Movies \|access-date=2022-05-10}}</ref>

			Cinematographer [[Ramachandra Babu]] writes in his blog: "Since the film [[Devalokam (film)\|''Devalokam'']] stopped half way, [[M. T. Vasudevan Nair\|M.T.]] wanted to give [[Mammootty\|Muhammed Kutty]] one more chance in the film written by him and directed by M. Azad, ''Vilikkanundu Swapnangal''. In a confrontation scene Muhammed Kutty proved himself as an actor with much potential against a stellar performance by Sukumaran. In the film his voice was not used but instead Sreenivasan had dubbed for him!"<ref>{{Cite web \|last=Babu \|first=Ramachandra' \|date=2010-02-02 \|title=Ramachandra Babu: Mammootty, the Person and Actor \|url=http://ramachandrababu.blogspot.com/2010/02/mammootty-person-and-actor.html \|access-date=2022-05-10 \|website=Ramachandra Babu}}</ref>
