The young hero in Shahzad Ghufoor’s The System just can’t take it anymore. The corrupt politicians, immoral villains and police, rising expense – makes him very angry indeed, so he does the filmy thing and decides to take them down. Or as he says in his own words: “Main system kay saath nahin chal sakta. System ko meray saath chalna paday ga (I can’t follow the system; the system has to follow me
The rebelling youth Haider (Sheraz Ghufoor) is a karate expert and, postgraduate son of a masjid imam the ubiquitous Nadeem Baig.
The System was made in a budget of Rs7 Crores, and did Rs1.8 Crores in its first weekend; a movie needs to make three times its budget to break even.
The System is technically competent, cinematography is by Syed Faisal Bukhari; the songs, by Music Director Shailesh Suvarna, are quite hummable with a premeditated Bollywood feel.
As a run-of-the-mill-good-guy-bad-world movie, it’s a must watch.
