Upon return from Delhi, the elder son (Happy) accidentally exchanges a similar-looking bag with another passenger's (Maheep Sodhi) at the train station. When Maheep, who is the younger brother of a businessman-turned-politician (Ajeet Sodhi) arrives at their home to reclaim his bag, a fateful incident occurs that puts Omkar and his family in a precarious predicament. The story of Tabbar follows the lengths Omkar will go to protect his family whilst navigating a web of deception and inquisition.

MoneyControl stated, "the storytelling is so compelling that you will watch as the lies and blood keep mounting."[11]

KoiMoi said, "Pavan Malhotra-led thriller is as dark as it gets without a minute of ease."[12]

Shweta Keshri of India Today wrote, Tabbar boasts of some great performances. Pavan Malhotra is exceptionally good in the thriller, who gets into his character of Omkar Singh with ease.[14]
