System, the legal thriller from Baweja Studio, has become Prime Video’s No. 1 non‑English film worldwide and the platform’s No. 2 most‑watched movie overall, the streaming service confirmed on Friday.
System film tops Prime Video non-English chart
The ranking places System ahead of every other title in languages other than English on Prime Video, according to the platform’s internal data. It also secures the second‑most‑watched position across all films, highlighting the strong international appeal of the Indian‑produced drama.

Directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, the film blends social drama with a legal thriller narrative. It features a cast led by Sonakshi Sinha, Jyotika and Ashutosh Gowariker, each delivering performances that have resonated with audiences beyond the subcontinent. The story’s focus on conscience‑driven themes appears to have struck a chord with viewers worldwide.
Earlier streaming releases
The achievement follows Baweja Studio’s earlier streaming releases – the romantic drama Mrs. on ZEE5 and the courtroom thriller Haq on Netflix – completing a run of three films across three major platforms.
Harman Baweja reflects on the achievement
Reflecting on the film’s response, Baweja said the global reach was a rewarding surprise for the team.
“As a writer and producer, there is no bigger thrill than watching a story you’ve believed in so deeply travel across borders and connect with audiences around the world.”
