The trailer of Prime Video’s upcoming Original movie, System, a gripping courtroom thriller that challenges a system where power defines the truth was unveiled today and we are so intrigued. Directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari and produced by Pammi Baweja, Harman Baweja, and Smitha Baliga, System captures the universal themes of ambition, revenge, fight for justice, and moral ethics. Featuring Sonakshi Sinha, Jyotika, and Ashutosh Gowariker in lead roles, supported by Preeti Agarwal, Addinath Kothare, Aashriya Mishra, Gaurav Pandey, and Sayandeep Sengupta, System will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in Hindi on May 22.
The trailer for System opens with Neha, a determined young lawyer played by Sonakshi Sinha, taking on a tough challenge from her father (Ashutosh Gowariker) to be worthy of a partnership in his firm. To pull it off, she recruits Sarika (Jyotika) – a street-smart courtroom stenographer, who secretly harbors motives of her own. What follows is a fast-moving glimpse into intense courtroom battles, messy relationships, and some powerful moments. Hard-hitting dialogues like “Ameeri ke shor mein gareeb ki awaaz kho jaati hai” cut straight to the core conflict, and viewers are left to wonder, in a System where influence can outweigh truth, has power killed justice or does it still stand a chance?
Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, the director and co-writer of System shares, “I believe there are innumerable stories that surround us but bringing them to life on screen authentically and creatively, is tough. I love to challenge myself and that’s why System came into existence.” She adds, “I am thrilled that Prime Video believed in my vision for this intriguing story about how justice can feel different depending on where you stand in society. With Sonakshi Sinha and Jyotika, two powerful women protagonists at the heart of the narrative, I am confident that this original movie will not only entertain but also spark cultural conversations among viewers in India and around the world.”
Sonakshi Sinha, who plays Neha, an ambitious public prosecutor, shares, “Playing this character has been deeply rewarding. I’m always drawn to stories that challenge me as an actor, and Prime Video has given me the opportunity to explore diverse genres and themes—from Dahaad to now System. This original movie is more than just a legal drama; it reflects the society we live in, where justice can sometimes be as divided as the social structures around us. Ashwiny’s clear vision helped me bring out my best and I’m excited to see how audiences respond when System premieres.”
Known for her versatility, Jyotika, who plays the role of Sarika, a courtroom stenographer, says, “Portraying such a layered character in System was both exciting and challenging. The film explores the contrasts of modern India, where privilege and inequality coexist. Ashwiny brings a clear and engaging vision to the story, from well-developed characters to realistic settings. Being part of a Prime Original movie has been a great experience. Prime Video is known for sharing meaningful stories with audiences across India and globally, and I am certain System will resonate with everyone.”
