Critical reception

Mihir Bhanage of The Times of India said, "Takatak has more dreambaks than plus points. The climax (no pun intended) comedy with a message of taking it easy and not jumping the gun (again, no pun intended) when it comes to physical relationships. But it build up is a task to endure, unless you are a fan of this genre".[4] A reviewer from Just Marathi wrote "The film is not suitable for a watch to watch as it has a number of third-grade double meaning humor, which remains the part and parcel of the story".[5]
