2.5/5
...the climactic confrontation, in which the killer is revealed, is nothing but an eye roll. Go to Full Review
Anupama Chopra The Hollywood Reporter India May 22
Despite the gaps in logic, which grow larger as the plot reveals itself, System keeps you guessing. The film isn’t half as smart as it thinks it is but enough of the twists land. Go to Full Review
Rahul Desai The Hollywood Reporter India 6d
Perhaps the reason System feels derivative is because it epitomises the system of mainstream Hindi film these days. It was never meant to be so methodical. Art was never meant to be an arrangement. Go to Full Review

Director Ashwini Iyer Tiwari's gentle gaze of grievous crimes is not always the right fit for System's social commentary. Go to Full Review
Rishabh Suri Hindustan Times May 22
3/5
It compensates with emotionally rooted storytelling and believable performances, but works more in moments than as a whole. Go to Full Review
Nandini Ramnath Scroll.in May 22
Even at its most contrived, Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari’s System emanates poise and purpose, neither of which wavers even as the plot thickens. Go to Full Review

Harish N @harish_napa 13h The 2026 thriller is a decent one time watch that ultimately struggles under the weight of its own lofty ambitions. It is a visually grounded production that focuses on a complex bureaucratic battle, proving that even a highly relevant premise can get heavily bogged down by an unpolished script and an uneven second half. Jyothika is exceptionally good in the lead role, delivering a fiercely determined and grounded performance that anchors the film through its most routine stretches. She brings a visceral intensity to the dramatic confrontations, ensuring her character's crusade feels completely authentic. While the spectacular cinematography and sharp background score create an immersive, high quality atmosphere, the bloated runtime prevents it from keeping its momentum. It remains a fair cinematic experience carried entirely by the commanding presence of its leading lady.
