In Punjab, a middle-class family lives comfortably in a bustling area. A shuffling in baggage brings an unpleasant visitor to their house one day, and bad luck kills him. As soon as they have blood on their hands, their world is turned upside down. The tale revolves around what the guy would do to preserve his family from disaster and ensure that his 'Tabbar' has a long life.
The focus in this disaster is always on the family. The father invents scheme after plan to avoid being discovered. He murders people and creates fictitious circumstances. While all of this is immoral, his goal is to protect his children and wife from being brutally murdered. What stands out in the text is the emphasis on consequences. Every action is either right or bad, depending on the circumstance.
Pavan Malhotra plays Omkar's father, a figure who serves as the basis for the entire programme. He'll have a lot of pressure to live up to, and he'll have to step into some big shoes. The actor, who has a lot of experience, manages to play a character as complicated as Omkar. Supriya Pathak, with all her skill, stands beside him and gives the show the appropriate emotional flavour. Both of them together in the last frame will stay with you for a long time.
Supriya Pathak is a seasoned actress who manages to put her best foot forward even in Tabbar. However, her accent proves to be a stumbling obstacle on several occasions. And when the majority of the cast is Punjabi, a non-Punjabi speaking in a distinct tone stands out.
He said, “What do we actually know about Punjabi culture and music? Bhangra rhythms, tandoori food, and Sardar jokes are the only things that come to mind. Punjab is much more than that, believe me. Punjab is a land where Islam, Sikhism, and Hinduism have all thrived in equal measure. It is a land with a wide range of socio-cultural influences. In 'Tabbar,' I attempted to portray Punjab and Punjabis in a more nuanced light, away from the 'dumbification' that is so prevalent in Bollywood films.”
The tension between the two primary characters Omkar and Sargun, which is at the heart of the storey that transports us to another planet, is the most interesting aspect of Tabbar. Sargun, on the other hand, is a devoutly religious and God-fearing lady, whereas Omkar is not.
"After a long stretch of time of improvement in the family, something happens that crushes the family once more."
Pawan Malhotra, Supriya Pathak, Ranvir Shorey, Gagan Arora, and Paramvir Singh Cheema star in the show. A family, a middle-aged couple with two grown-up boys, is the focus of the narrative. One of them travels to Delhi to study, and then a sequence of events occur that flip their life completely upside down. Tabbar is streaming on SonyLIV.
