Kama Sutra is the cheapest film (by far) on this list. Its budget is approximately 1/100 of Avengers: Infinity War, which was made for more than $300 million. It is also the only non-blockbuster of the lot, which includes billion-dollar franchises such as Star Wars and Jurassic World. Crucially, it is not the only erotic film on the list. Starring Indira Varma and Sarita Chaudhury and Rekha (in her English language debut), the film was banned in India and Pakistan due to its erotic nature.
