== Critical response ==
Tapaal received positive reviews from critics. Mihir Bhanage of ''[[The Times of India]]'' rated the film 4 out of 5 stars and wrote "Many of us still get nostalgic about handwritten letters but some of us might not have had the opportunity to write or read a postcard or inland letter. For the previous category, this is a chance to re-live the memories and for the latter, this is one tapaal that you surely don’t want to miss".<ref>{{Cite web |date=21 April 2016 |title=TAPAAL MOVIE REVIEW|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/marathi/movie-reviews/tapaal/movie-review/43599562.cms |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221123075856/http://web.archive.org/screenshot/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/marathi/movie-reviews/tapaal/movie-review/43599562.cms |archive-date=23 November 2022 |access-date=23 November 2022 |website= [[The Times of India]] |language=English
