'Tabbar' is vicious, pragmatic and most importantly; it exemplifies (in a quite conscientious manner) what it truly takes to be a 'Patriarch' of a middle-class ordinary family.
"To what length would a man go to protect his family?" A rather realistic portrayal of this exact mentality can be observed here (albeit a bit contentious, I agree); where family comes first under every kind of circumstance you could ever imagine!
Tabbar's undeniable strength lies in its twisted narration, stellar performances and this never-ending air of tension that never allows you to settle! The approach may not scream perfection, and some may as well be doing unnecessary comparisons to other Bollywood/Regional works; still, from my point of view, the execution as a whole inevitably finds its footing and remains resolute until the credits roll.
Not to mention, all that typical, caricaturish drama and so-called Bollywood-ish treatment slowly and gradually die down and only then do we get to witness the true quality underneath.
Now moving on to the deficiencies, alongside the obvious Caricaturish drama, or the Bollywood-ish treatment, the fundamental characterization is probably the most fragile characteristic here. Not taking away anything from the cast, as most of them did respectably well enough (Barring Pawan Malhotra & Supriya Pathak, they were sensational); It's just that the writing on certain characters leaves a lot to be desired!
Had this series provided a bit more time in each one of their philosophies, or made episodes specially designed and dedicated to each one of those central characters; the outcome would have been far more meaningful and justified. I'm telling you all this cause, they did forget to tie up some loose ends. As you shall see!
