Reception[edit]

In the criticism of the website Filmes do Chico, it is stated that 'because it was associated with Xuxa as a pedophile, the film gained a fame that does not correspond to the material it offers.' Like all of Khouri's films, Amor, Estranho Amor has many sex scenes, a lot of free nudity, but, putting the drops on the is, it's a good movie.'^[5]

Controversy[edit]

Love Strange Love caused some controversy due to the participation of Xuxa in the cast. Hamari adhuri kahani hd full video download.

The video of Love Strange Love has its marketing and distribution prohibited in the country. However, the film was released on DVD in the United States in 2005 and can be purchased by any Brazilian on foreign import sites.
