In the ScreenCrush report, Matt Singer sarcastically highlights, "No, that’s not a typo,a trailer for the 1996 Mira Nair film Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love has been viewed 91 million times. I guess YouTube users just love Mira Nair! There’s really no other possible explanation.”
Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love starred Indira Varma and Sarita Chaudhury in the leads. The film also marked the English language debut of Rekha. Celebrated filmmaker Zoya Akhtar too had a part to play in the film, directed by Mira Nair.
