"Tapaal" is a heartwarming depiction of the power that a single letter wields and how it can change the lives of the person delivering it and the one reading it. Through the story of romantic kid Ranga (Rohit) and kind postman Devram (Nandu) "Tapaal" launches a journey that unfolds with Ranga's childlike desires. While delivering letters to the village folk, Devram meets Ranga. In Ranga, childless couple Devram and his wife Veena see their son and they shower all the love they can on him. When Ranga writes a letter to his childhood sweetheart, little does he know what fate awaits him if the letter lands in the wrong hands. Fortunately, he witnesses the consequence when his senior gets caught while peeking into the village sarpanch's daughter's room. Scared as hell, Ranga makes it a point to get his letter back before it is delivered. Thus begins his relation with Devram.
