Jyotika talks about emoting through silences for 'System'
Mumbai, May 28
Actress Jyotika, who is receiving a lot of positive response to her work in the recently released streaming film 'System', has spoken about the importance of silences for her part in the film.
The actress spoke with IANS along with her co-star Sonakshi Sinha during the promotions of the film in Mumbai. She shared that her character of stenographer comes with a lot of depth.
Jyotika told IANS, "For me, I really like Sarika as a character I have not played before, actually. I don't want to give away too much, but there are too many shades to her and there are a lot of layers. So, those layers in her attracted me a lot. Also, there's a lot I'm emoting through silence, which was another factor, which was very challenging as an actor".
She further mentioned, "We've seen courtrooms and also other films which have been projected very well. So each time it's like learning for us also. Ke isse type ka court is like this, supreme court is like this, and the general court is like this. So it's always a learning from other films. I've really not been to an actual court. So it's just through films and how real they're showing it that we're learning".
'System' is a courtroom drama, and sees Sonakshi as a lawyer, and Jyothika as a stenographer. It marks Sonakshi's 1st performance as a lawyer. She essays the role of Neha, a determined young lawyer played by Sonakshi Sinha, taking on a tough challenge from her father (played by Ashutosh Gowariker) to be worthy of a partnership in his firm. The film marks her 2nd OTT film after 'Kakuda'.
Produced by Pammi Baweja, Harman Baweja, and Smitha Baliga, 'System' is available to stream on Prime Video.

Jyotika is a gem! From her Tamil films to this, she always brings depth. But I'm a bit skeptical about the courtroom setting—hope they've done proper research. So many films take liberties with legal procedures, and it breaks the immersion. Still, with Sonakshi and Ashutosh Gowariker, it's intriguing.
Interesting to see Jyotika's journey from South Indian cinema to OTT platforms. The idea of a stenographer as a key character sounds unique. Hope the writing does justice to her talent. Also, Sonakshi as a lawyer—let's see if she can pull off the intensity!
I love that Jyotika is honest about learning court procedures from films—that's a refreshing confession! Many actors pretend to be experts. The 'silences' part caught my attention. In a world of constant noise, a character who speaks through quiet moments is just what we need. 👏
Sonakshi Sinha as a lawyer? Hmm, I'm not fully convinced yet. Her earlier OTT film 'Kakuda' was decent, but this seems like a big leap. However, Jyotika carrying the emotional weight is a big plus. Let's hope the direction doesn't turn it into a typical melodrama.
Emoting through silences is an underrated art. Jyotika proved her mettle in 'Chandramukhi' and 'Kaakha Kaakha', so I have high hopes. But why does every OTT courtroom drama feel the need to copy Hollywood? I hope 'System' brings something fresh to the
