Synopsis

The story centers around Omkar Singh, a Punjab Police retiree who lives in Jalandhar with his wife and two sons. 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.
