There is no doubt that a title like 'Upnyas' is rich with ambiguity and intrigue, urging the reader to interpret it even before engaging with the novel. The skill of the Saudi novelist Omar Hussain Siraj lies in formulating the title to balance its structure with the narrative and characters, linking the title with the storytelling elements. This transition transforms the reader from being puzzled to understanding the narrative thread that connects the title to the story, unveiling the mystery within the captivating and magical narrative. This eloquence is evidence of the maturation of narrative awareness evident in all of Omar Hussain Siraj's novels.

The rationalization of imagination in 'Upnyas' is utilized by Omar Hussain Siraj in narrating the dilemma of being caught between 'reality' and 'imagination'. It portrays how the protagonist, Wael Al-Burjas, attempts to escape through the cocoon of imagination from his real place in Riyadh to an imagined place in India, where he believes his dream of becoming a famous actor, akin to his idol Matt Damon, will manifest. Despite his studies in a different field and working as a warehouse clerk, and lacking cinema schools in his country, his ambition remained alive, waiting for the right moment. Now in his thirties, he makes a bold decision to change his career path and make his dreams a reality, beginning in Mumbai. His dream awaits him in India, accompanying him in a journey of discovery across Indian states and their legends, creating a unique narrative tapestry intertwined with imagination and surreal scenes.

During this extraordinary experience, he explores fantastical environments, where living with the dead and mingling with gods and priests is depicted with astounding skill. Through a landscape of memories and scenery shaped by his experiences in India, he realizes the thin line between fantasy and reality. Ultimately, he understands that his adventures were a dream without achieving any real purpose, realizing that his perceived likeness to Matt Damon held no truth. The romantic entanglements with characters like Kiran and Nilm were figments of his imagination. Discovering the meaning of 'Upnyas' as 'imagination' in the Eurasiatic language at his journey's end, he learns that chasing dreams doesn't fulfill reality but rather obscures it, as his entire adventure was nothing but a dream.
