== Reception ==
The film received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for its lead performances and music but criticism for its formulaic plot and uneven execution. [[The Times of India]] rated it 2.5/5, calling it a “sweet and simple love story” with strong chemistry between [[Harshvardhan Rane]] and [[Sonia Rathee]], though noting it “barely a compelling romantic drama” due to its predictable narrative.<ref name="TOI2022">{{cite web |title=Tara Vs Bilal Movie Review |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/tara-vs-bilal/movie-review/95175704.cms |website=The Times of India |date=2022-10-29 |access-date=2025-07-03}}</ref>

Fenil Seta of ''Filmy Fenil'' gave it 3/5, commending Rane’s “terrific” performance, Rathee’s confident debut, and the sensitive handling of an [[LGBTQ]] subplot, but criticized silly plot points and weak initial portions.<ref name="FilmyFenil2022">{{cite web |last=Seta |first=Fenil |title=(Crisp) Movie Review: TARA VS BILAL |url=https://www.filmyfenil.com/2022/12/crisp-movie-review-tara-vs-bilal/ |website=Filmy Fenil |date=2022-12-24 |access-date=2025-07-03}}</ref>
